This is a combination of two one minute images taken with a Pictor 416XT. The Pictor was attached to an LX200 10" F/6.3 telescope. A Pictor 201XT was attached to an ETX for guiding. Each of the two images was corrected with a dark frame and a flat field. After combining, the image was enhanced with a Gaussian equalization algorithm.
