About this image

Taken from our driveway amid Bortle 8 (city) skies on an evening with good transparency but only average/below average seeing. 177 30-second images (just shy of 90 minutes) acquired along with 30 dark & flat exposures. Stacked in DSS, processed in PixInsight, and finalized using Photoshop. Pretty happy with the end result given I'm more of a planetary imager than DS person. :-)
