Description

A mixture of 60, 120 and 300 second subs taken from my Bortle 5 house near Eastbourne between July 2022 and May 2023 for a total of 4.6 hours. I was testing how far I could push the exposure time as the guiding and seeing were exceptionally good in October 2022. I managed one exposure of 600 seconds and one of 1200 seconds. Then I chickened out and went back to 300 seconds for the rest of the night but pleased that I could do it. Not entirely happy with this yet so I want to add much more time to this target.

Title: Reprocessed October 2023

Description: A reprocessing effort with more attention to the stars and background. Much happier with this one. Some of the background detail is lost but I will fix that with more acquisition time.
