Description

My first deep sky with a mono camera, the PlayerOne IMX571 Poseidon-M Pro (cropped as 16x9).

Lucky to get anything at all as it has rained nearly constantly here for the three weeks after acquiring the camera.  There was enough of a break here and there (June 19 through June 23) that I was able to try the new camera and filter set on the same target previously shot with the RIsingCAM IMX571 OSC.

Unfortunately humidity was very high and I had to turn on the Celestron Dew Ring.  Even at the lowest power setting this distorts the stars.

Still learning PixInsight, there is a long path ahead.
