Description

Early attempt at astrophotography under Bortle 5 skies during a vacation in the Swan Valley (near Perth, Australia).

Unguided, using the stock AltAz mount that came with my 6SE. Limited therefore to 15s subs ... and even then, had to be fairly brutal and throw 2/3 of the subs away! Frustrating, but nonetheless pleased and amazed with the detail I was able to get. Still learning my way around the post-processing process.
