About this image

Tried capturing Barnard's Loop for the first time last night. Alas my intervalometer decided to pack up so I ended up triggering the camera manually every 30 sec for 20 min. It was cold in a dark Northants field as well! Squint and you should be able to see it. Processed using Deep Sky Stacker, Pixinsight & Faststone.
