Description

First time that I combined data from both scopes: My 8 inch RC (f/8 - reduced to appr. f/5.8) for details of the galaxy core and my fast 8 inch Newton (f/4) to get more of this faint halo around the galaxy. In my source data I also saw a second wider halo, but to show that it's probably not enough integration time, though it's the longest integration time of one of my images yet.
