This image was taken at the prime focus of my 8" f10 LX 200.   The image is a composite of four individual images with exposure times of 20, 10, 5 and 2 minutes for a total exposure time of 37 minutes.  The scope was guided with the STAR 2000 auto tracker, which I was learning how to use.  The individual images were processed in AstroArt software and then further processed  in Photoshop.     Click here to go back.
