Description

Given that I haven't used my telescope kit in several months, I am extremely pleased with how this turned out. The image quality from the A7III was extremely good with very little background noise. The stacking process eliminated what little was there. The amount of data in the stacked RAW files was insane...I have never pulled this much detail from so few images.

This is a composite of 30 1min 45sec individual images. Stacking/pre-processing was performed in Nebulosity and the post-processing was completed in Photoshop CC.
