Description

So, with the mount sorted and guiding being consistent, collecting data suddenly goes way "faster".. as in I'm not fiddling around with settings before the shutter finally opens. ;) After some mosaic work on the Heart nebula when it was on a good location in the sky, I switched to the Crescent nebula and started snapping away. 2 objects on a night is a nice balans I think, both in getting more objects and enough frames. While I need more data to get the noise down, I love the amount of signal I already have, beautiful area.

– H-alpha, 12x 15 min, total of 10956 seconden (~ 3 hours)

Calibrated in APP using Darks, Flats, BPM.
