About this image

It was a blowy night and for this observation the dome slit faced straight into the breeze. So, I took 55images of which only 27 were not distorted by the tube shaking (a 12" on the NEQ6 is pushing my luck -even at f/4). The sigma stack doesn't look too bad and I managed to get rid of the sky gradient.
