North America loves the Pelican V2

Newer Older

One more night on this spectacular subject, grandiose scenery of the Heavens!
Same equipment and field of view as the previous shot but I got the auto guider to work and exposed a lot more this time: 9 subs of 900s each.
Surprisingly, not an awful lot of differences!
