Description

First light with my new ASI1600 MC-cool. I'm more of a planetary imager and have decided to sort of cross over into DSO's while there's not much to look at right now with the planets.

DSO data acquisition is much different and for me has a steep learning curve. I'm still pretty new to imaging so C and C are welcome.

I know a few things I could do to improve this image. I didn't acquire much data at all and each shot was 20 sec w/ a gain of 200/ 20 offset (I have no idea what offset is) so I know the core is slightly blown out. There were no calibration frames integrated into this image and no further processing outside of Nebulosity 4.
