Awesome image, Ron. Perfectly captures the essence of the Northern summer sky, like we saw at Stellafane last weekend.

Andy,

Thanks! As I began to review more of these I found a sequence of 4 frames taken in quick succession that just begged to be stacked.

I hope everyone had a great time at Stellafane!

Nice improvement of the contrast, now showing a lot more detail in the dust lanes. Very cool!

Nice Ron! Great job!

I thought you caught a meteor until I enlarged the image and saw it was a pesky satellite.
Now, if there's any chance of the 11-12 being clear at all, add a few Perseids with that 18mm.

Also, great capture of the "Coathanger" my favorite asterism, found halfway down a line drawn from Vega to Altair!
