About this image

Just starting out with dedicated camera and this stack was affected by light pollution and moon, so pretty happy with the result. 32 subs from 37 so I can add to this with some clear skies and better conditions though rare at the moment. I'm only cooling the camera to 5 degC for now as I gauge the battery drain, so far it is not a factor in time of shoot so room for improvement there too
