Description

Total Integrated Exposure Time: 1 Hour, 45 Minutes

21 x 300 Seconds

Camera set to Unity Gain

Support Files: 15 Darks, 15 Flats

Processing: DeepSkyStacker and Adobe Photoshop

This was the second target I attempted with the new ZWO ASI071MC-Cool. I have always shot with a DSLR, so the image acquisition process and new software have been challenging. However, I feel like I have a system that works now, even if I am only using SGP init's most basic form

This camera is on loan from Ontario Telescope and Accessories, and I only have about 2 weeks left to review it. Consider it the "DSLR imager reviews his first CCD-style camera" kind of review.

You can read more on my blog, if interested.

Clear skies!
