Mount: Takahashi EM-500 Temma II

Camera: SBIG ST8XE ABG & Color filter wheel, SBIG ST-402ME CCD Autoguider

Location: Philadelphia, PA

Image info: L-5 min, At this 5min exposure time the core was burned out to pure white. So there were images taken at 12 x 10 sec exposures. Then feathered into the origional image for the detail inside of the core.

Seeing was about 3.5 out of 10... Very soupy skies.
