Antares and the 'Dark Horse' nebulae
Imaged from a local beach, which has a less obstructed and slightly less light-polluted view compared to my back garden, back in mid May.
17 x 2-minute exposures at f/4 and ISO 3200. Astro-modified Canon EOS 600D and Leica Summicron 50mm f/2 lens on a Vixen Polarie star tracker.
Frames stacked in DeepSkyStacker software; curves and colour balance adjusted in Canon Photo Professional; noise reduced using Cyberlink PhotoDirector.
