Details:
These images were taken remotely from The DMZ observatories in Southern Arizona.
The wide field image was taken with a Televue TV-60is f/6 refractor using a color Orion Star Shoot Pro camera. The exposure was 7x300 sec for a total of 35 minutes.
The second picture was a narrower field using a c14 with Hyperstar adapter operating at f/1.9 using a QSI-583 monochrome camera with Astrodon LRGB filters. It was 4 60sec exposures of RGB for a total of 12 minutes.
The telescopes were mounted piggy back on an Orion HDX-110 mount.
It was cloudy earlier and cleared to get these images.
