About this image

Images stacked and processed in Affinity Photo. Manually rotated camera throughout observing session to compensate for field rotation using graduated index scale and associated spreadsheet based on trigonometric equations found in Smart's "Spherical Astronomy". This was a bit tedious but it seemed to work.
