Stack of two 5 minute exposures at ISO400 with Canon 20Da camera, and Astro-Physics 4-inch apo refractor at f/4.5. Taken August 1, 2005. Second layer median filered and gaussian blurred to add glows around brighter stars, and mixed in with Lighten mode at 100%, and contrast boosted by +50 to brighten stars.
