Description

This image is made up of 20s subs unguided, due to guidecam failure using BYEOS.

I took a total of 100 subs @ 6400 ISO along with Darks & Flats.

Going through the images later I deleted any with any sign of star egging & ended up with 51 left to stack in DSS and DSS used only 29 of them.

I then ran the output .fts file through StarTools to bring out as much detail as I could from a limited amount of data, stretching just enough as to not bring in too much noise.

Due to the native FL of my scope & the 1.6 crop sensor of my dSLR, this shot has the equivalent FOV of a 3760mm lens hence the narrow field.
