Equipment and settings: Canon 6D DLSR modded for increased Ha sensitivity by Brent Oliver of HyperCams and Mods, with Canon EF 15mm f/2.8L fisheye lens, at f/3.5, 6400 ISO; iOptron SkyTracker. Raw image modified with Photoshop's "warp" function to eliminate some of the distortion from the fisheye lens.
