This is a mosaic of two images. Each image in the mosaic is a combination of 3 images, each of 480 seconds. The images were taken with a Pictor 416 attached to an Meade 10" F/4 telescope (using an F/6.3 focal reducer on an F/6.3 telescope). A Pictor 201XT was attached to an ETX for guiding. Each of the images was corrected with a dark frame and a flat field. After combining, the image was exponentially stretched.
