Description

First image with the incredible Samyang (Walimex) 2.0/135mm
New version:
Using PixInsight, BlurXterminator and Starnet. No Tonemapping needed as in the old version.

Old version:
Unfortunately I missed perfect focus, so I had to struggle with red halos around the stars (removed in PS). Tonemapping in Photoshop (Stars removed with Straton) did the job with the nebulas.

Sensor was cooled to 15°C below zero.
