I took this image two years running at Kelling and wasn't happy with either.  But several years on with new processing tricks up my sleeve I decided to combine both images and see if I could make a better job of it.

Unfortunately some of the stars are bloated as some of the equipment I was using then was undersampling which was a lesson I learnt after that.

Both taken at Kelling Heath Star party:

September 2016 ED120 and Atik 314L 2h 43mins

September 2017 dual rig. ED80/460 11 x 600 + WO/314 6 x 600

Total imaging time 5h 35mins

Always good to look at old data.
Also combining the data doubled the exposure time.

Carole, very interesting image. The centre looks like some kind of creature with Red eyes !!
