Description

This data was collected during a rare 5 straight clear nights!  (Well, more like 4 1/2, but still)  This was also from my first several near fully automated runs, where I was setting up my equipment (leaving mount on pier every day), starting the sequence, going to work, and returning home to power everything down and bring the imaging train inside.  This all went surprisingly well, with no problems that weren't my own doing!  

I was going to crop the image, as I picked this framing thinking I would be bringing out more of the wispy nebulosity above the two main nebulae, but it was more faint than I realized.  However, there's enough around the edges that I liked, that I decided not to crop it out. 

Now that the image has loaded on here, I'm seeing a blue hue to the background that I am not seeing nearly as much when processing, so I will likely go back and try to correct that.
