You will not win bushing! All this extra work because I refused to go the ghetto route and burn out the rubber and cut the rest out with a saws-all.

This is the Heart Nebula, IC 1805, in the constellation of Cassiopeia. This image was taken from Key West, Florida and at home from the KPO observatory field. This was captured using my travel astrophotography kit.
The skies from the Florida Keys are dark due to the small amount of land and population. Of course Key West is much more populated, but this direction from my observing site was pointed away from the main light dome.
Image Info
This was taken from the dark skies of Key West with the newly upgraded travel astrophotography kit. This is a narrowband false-color image (separate groups of monochrome subframes taken through Hydrogen Alpha, Oxygen III, and Sulphur II filters). This image also was post-processed in Astro Pixel processor, a new tool in my imaging arsenal, that greatly reduces manual effort previously needed in processing astronomical image data:
Camera : ZWO ASI1600MM pro
Lens: Canon 100-400 f/5.6L lens, set to 400mm
Mount: iOptron SmartEQ Pro
Ha (mapped to Red): 12 subframes of 300s = 60 min integration
OIII (mapped to Green): 12 subframes of 300s = 60 min integration
SII (mapped to Blue): 12 subframes of 300s = 60 min integration
Total integration time: 180 min = 3 hours.

Messier 95, also known as M95 or NGC 3351, is a barred spiral galaxy located about 33 million light-years away in the zodiac constellation Leo. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781, and catalogued by fellow French astronomer Charles Messier four days later. On 16 March 2012, a supernova was discovered in M95.
The galaxy has a morphological classification of SB(r)b, with the SBb notation indicating it is a barred spiral with arms that are intermediate on the scale from tightly to loosely wound, and an '(r)' meaning an inner ring surrounds the bar. The latter is a ring-shaped, circumnuclear star-forming region with a diameter of approximately 2,000 light-years (610 pc). The spiral structure extends outward from the ring.
The ring structure of M95 has a mass of 3.5×108 M☉ in molecular gas and a star formation rate of 0.38 M☉ yr−1. The star formation is occurring in at least five regions with diameters between 100 and 150 pc that are composed of several star clusters ranging in size from 1.7 to 4.9 pc. These individual clusters contain (1.8–8.7)×106 M☉ of stars, and may be on the path to forming globular clusters.
A Type II supernova, designated as SN 2012aw, was discovered in M95 on 16 March 2012. The light curve of the supernova displayed a significant flattening after 27 days, thus classifying it as a Type II-P, or "plateau", core-collapse supernova. The disappearance of the progenitor star was later confirmed from near-infrared imaging of the region. The brightness of the presumed red supergiant progenitor allowed its mass to be estimated as 12.5±1.5 M☉.
M95 is one of several galaxies within the M96 Group, a group of galaxies in the constellation Leo. The group also includes the Messier objects M96 and M105.
