The exposure consists of 24 exposures x 2 minutes each x 4 frames to complete the mosaic. Images were captured with a QHY8PRO CCD Camera through a Hyperstar equipped Celestron 1100HD telescope operating at f/2. Capture, Calibration & Stacking was done with Maxim DL 5.15 and all post-processing was done in Photoshop CS5. This is my first attempt at using Photoshop's HDR Toning in an astrophoto, and I pushed it right to the limit of what I'd consider acceptable processing, perhaps even a bit past that mark.
