This is a composite of two stacked image sets with a pause between the two sets. Frames were captured on 2026-06-27 at 03:19-03:55 and 04:10-04:33 UTC.
Image details: Dwarf 3 astrophotography telescope, 15 second exposures, gain 60, 112 + 74 stacked frames, visible light filter, auto cleanup (star correction/denoise); stacked images aligned using orientation data from Astrometry.net and WorldWide Telescope worldwidetelescope.org, images aligned and merged with GIMP.
Note: I used my suffix to distinguish myself from the National Geographic photographer with the same name (no relation).
