This image was taken with Meade f3.3 focal reducer and the IDAS Light Pollution Filter installed in the SCT adapter attached to my 8" f10 LX 200.    The image is a composite of three 20 min exposures guided with the STAR 2000 auto tracker.  They were color converted and added together in Astro Art and  then further processed  in Photoshop.   You can also just see a portion of Galaxy NGC 4562 in the lower right corner of the image and Galaxy IC 3571 just below the word "in" in the title.  Total exposure is 60 minutes.  Click here to go back.
