Description

This was my first attempt to push my setup to the limit. I was looking to get as much data as I could on a nice spiral galaxy that was large enough to have a decent resolution. I found that NGC300 was optimally positioned, sized and was bright enough for me to attack!

As seen in the image, the amount of noise is not great for such a large amount of data, as the sensor for on average about 30c from EXIF data. I am looking at rigging up some form of cooling system, but I am really saving my pennies for a ASI1600mm-c or a KAF8300m camera!
