12X5 minute exposures were stacked and preprocessed with Nebulosity.
Final processing was done with Cannon DPP.
A Baader Moon/SkyGlow filter was used with a Skywatcher 120ED scope and Borg 0.85 reducer flattener.
The mount was an older Mountain Instrument tangent arm equatorial mount guided with a Borg 77ACH guide scope with Orion Star Shoot autoguider.
This is a 100% crop from the original image.

Great shot. Has a three dimensional feel to it.
