Description

OK so I could not resist posting this warts and all. I am waiting for my new threaded .80 reducer and pretty much done with galaxies with the coming full moon so I switched telescopes from the AT130 to my AT92 f/5.5. I still don't have the right size spacers to fix my stars but I loaded up the 6200 anyway to get everything else as ready as possible. The image has very little processing, just a bit of leveling, color saturation and gradient removal for the wonky vignette.

The original Jpeg file at 72px per inch was 50MB, 50!! Zoom in but ignore the stars...Lol!

Also there was a 68% full moon!

AT92, asi6200 MC- 49 @180 seconds, gain 50, -10
