a snapshot of Taygeta

[wimvb]

Two unexpected clear nights that in hindsight weren't so clear after all. I started this image as an experiment in guiding, but ended up collecting data for almost two nights. Unfortunately the sky wasn't as clear as it looked, and I had to discard about 60 % of the subs. Still, this is about 2 hours worth of RGB data with short exposures in order to try to keep as much colours in the stars as possible.

Captured with my SkyWatcher 190MN and ZWO ASI294MM, 64 x 2 minutes subs

Processed in PixInsight.

And yes, there are distant galaxies in this image, but they're tiny.
