This was imaged from my backyard. No light pollution filters were used.  Seeing was good.  One hundred and twenty, 90 second subs.  I wanted more but I got started late and clouds were coming in from the west. I also had to delete subs because of jets and Starlink. Processed with PixInsight.

Very nice Jim!  lots of Galaxies and the details are very good.  Clear Skies, Pat.

Jim, your sharp stars are as nice as your galaxies. Is that a quintuple star system to the left of IC 3459?

Look at all the IC's!  Very clear and sharp image!  IC3475 got me started and then the rest of them showed up.

I love the clarity! The stars are sharp and nice edge to edge. Is it possible there are a couple of windy subs still in the stack? I can’t tell if the couple of subtle asymmetric plumes on a few of the larger star are from wind movement in a couple of subs or legitimate signal. Beautiful image.

Thanks all.
