Yes, another great shot Astrolounge. Just what do you mean by "1 x 90 sec for keyhole"?

BTW, I'm pleased you use the correct form for writing dates i.e. day, month, year.

Hi wakaleo, the keyhole is the small area near the centre of the image and long exposures can burn out this area (it becomes to bright), by taking a short exposure and then overlaying it onto the long exposure you get to keep the detail.

Aha! More valuable information. Thanks for that Astrolounge.

Whoa, that's beautiful! Nice job of getting both the dim stuff while keeping the bright parts visible.

Some day I hope to see this area of the sky in person.
