Comments:

Color corrected using eXcalibrator system. So the colors are as accurate as I know how to make them... Only three stacked images... Other 5 images I rejected due to moderately high winds blowing the telescope around and elongating the star images. Will try again as soon as possible and replace this image with a better one...
