Located in the constellation Sagittarius. It is approximately 5000 light years from Earth and about the width of three Full

Moon diameters in the sky; hence I can't fit all of it in with this setup.

60x30 sec subs with calibration frames added.

Tracked on a Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 mount with no guiding.
