Description

This was captured over a few nights in August of 2022 from my Bortle 7/8 backyard as an entry in CloudyNights' "Goofi's Imaging Challenge". I was never really happy with my processing of the surrounding nebulosity (I was using Photoshop exclusively at the time). It was also my first 20+ hour effort. 

As I searched for projects as I have weathered the past couple weeks of clouds, I returned and processed this one again and am pretty pleased with how it came out (if you ignore the massive halo).
