These two beauties were caught with me Canon EOS 40D. It really was a test image testing my setup with the 40D mounter on my Newton scope. The image is a stack of only three subexposures of 5 minuttes each. The mount stopped when reaching the meridian, so the remaining images in the series were useless.
Pictures are stacked with DeepSkyStacker and developed with Nebulosity2. Gradient is removed with GradientXterminator and curves are adjusted in Photoshop Elements.
Notice the faint galaxy near the top border inthe right side, and several other faint galaxies.
