Description

First serious attempt in alt/az imaging.

Managed to set up my rig with StellarMate on an RaspberryPi. Alignment, focusing and guiding all went excellent. Still some learning on how to set it up most efficiently. Result turned out really well, though. Star shape is nice and noise levels only due to the short integration time and some not so good (artifical) flats.

Acquired 60x30s subs and stacked 48 of them in PixInsight based on SubFrameSelector.

The Intergalactic Wanderer is a globular cluster orbiting our Milky Way at 300k ly distance. It's brightest stars are of 17th magnitude: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_2419
