This photo is a 2 nights combination. I took it with the present of waxing gibbous moon. I mean I could do it for one night but clouds showed up and I need to stop, then at the second night the same thing happened. When nature is not cooperating so much then all you need is to pack things up and hunker down. I kind of disappointed because December, January, February and little of much here in Arizona is raining so hard and if no rain then we got a cloudy sky.
However this is one of the nights that it was not raining and cloudy but there was moon.
May the star force be with you in your space journey!

I stacked the 30 light frames, 30 dark frames, 30 bias frames and 30 flat frames in deep sky stacker. I brought it to pixinsight and do separation of channel in linear firt, then combined it, do the dynamic background extraction and do histogram stretching, and enhance the curve, and brought the image to photoshop for more localized editing.
