M3 – NGC5272
5hrs of total exposure using 10min subs. This was to get the very faint stars at the far periphery as well as the brighter centre that would require lower exposure. I used an extended full-well-depth mode on the camera from this to give a full well depth of 75,000e to prevent the core blowing out in the 600s exposures. by Dean Ashton

This is the Eagle Nebula (M16) centre and the Omega Nebula (M17) bottom right. Both are quite low to the horizon….lots of stars due to the proximity to the galactic bulge…over 230,000 point sources in the image!
