Description

This is the second attempt using a new camera, lens and mount. And as we all know, new gear and weather does not cooperate: I had to discard a lot of light frames from a two-hour imaging session due to clouds. And most of the remaining frames had trails. But given the circumstances, I am satisfied with the result. I am very happy to be back after a long time to share with you this image.

Version D: Preprocessing and initial stretching from scratch in PixInsight 1.8. My initial impressions from PI are positive: Better alignment and stacking quality than DSS which is apparent in this version from the larger usable FOV and sharper stars. However it was painfully hard to model the background this time.
