About this image

I have been having some problems with my CCD camera hence why I an using the 1100D more regularly at the moment. The subs from this night seemed over-exposed with the bright moon rising and showed little of the outer arms so I am amazed to have ended up with a reasonable result. Captured with Backyard EOS and stacked and processed in Pixinsight.
