8-minute exposures at f/4.5 with AP Traveler apo refractor. 20Da camera (second night out with it) at ISO800, on warm summer night. In camera LENR On. Taken Aug 1, 2005. Two image stack with top layer at Normal 50% for noise reduction. Noise Ninja filtering also applied. Notice the sky color difference on either side of the main arc -- it is expanding into an area of sky wiht more interstellar dust, so the sky and stars to the right of the arc look yellower, reddened by dust. The sky to the left looks more neutral.
