Description

This replaces a 7 year old "local" image with a new one from my NM Observatory. It's an LRGB totalling almost 9 hours under poor conditions. Taken with an RCOS 20" RC on a Paramount ME using an STL-11000/AO-L and SBIG CS filters. Seeing was so bad, 2.7 to 3.4" fwhm, that 70% of the raw data was tossed! Minor decon was done to the luminance to help bring out detail. Hope you enjoy...RN
