Description

This is my first attempt at a full astrophotography image and processing. I mainly chose it because Stellarium indicated that it would mostly fit on my camera sensor. Due to high periodic error problems with my mount and no guiding I was limited to 30sec exposures. Since the exposure time is so short the ISO needs to be very high, which results in a lot of noise in the images. Only 15-20% of the images are good enough to stack, because of this it takes over an hour just to capture 15-20 good frames. I keep on stacking/processing this over and over. There is only so much you can do with such limited data.
