Post date: Sep 18, 2020 12:53:57 AM

While in Monarch, CO, I imaged the Scutum Star Cloud, which incudes M11 left of center. At the lower right is the Omega Nebula and the Eagle Nebula.

The Scutum Star Cloud, including M11. The image was taken with a modified Nikon D5300, Nikkor 50 mm lens at F/3.2 on a Celestron Advanced VX mount. The mount was autoguided. 8 x 1.5 minute exposures = 12 minute total exposure. Image capture was with BackyardNikon. The images were stacked in DeepSkyStacker and processed in Photoshop.
