Telescope: Takahashi FSQ-106N APO refractor

Mount: Takahashi NJP Temma II

Camera: SBIG ST8XE ABG & Color filter wheel

Location: Philadelphia, PA

Image info: LRGB L-100 min, R-60 min, G-60 min, B- 60 min. At these long exposure times the core was burned out to pure white. So there was a second image taken in RGB at 5 x 30 sec exposures in each color. Then feathered into the original image for the detail inside of the core.
