Description

I collected data for this image about 4 yrs. ago in the middle of town, a block from the shopping center (Red zone for sure!). I only got 40 images @ 30secs to composite. Took images near zenith to help minimize light pollution. 40 x 30secs. @ ISO 800 FL 4480mm It only 25 million light-years away!!! Equipment: •Celestron 11" Edge HD w/ HD wedge •Orion 80mm Short Tube w/ Orion guide camera •Canon EOS T2i (550D) •LP filter
