Description

Just got my new ZWO ASI294MC Pro dialed in tonight! Darks, flats and coma corrector all finally working. Quarter moon about 90 degrees away though, but still!

Seeing is pretty darn good tonight, so I had binning set to 1, so scale is 0.5 arc sec per pixel. 260 x 5 second exposures. Lots of little faint background galaxies down to fainter than 21st magnitude can be seen behind. I left it uncrossed as it came out of SharpCap.

Description: I realized my initially posted image was for viewing in a dark room! In the morning daylight, I realized I had to completely readjust it for daylight viewing on a computer monitor.

Description: Improved color balance using some new image processing tools (GIMP). Also cropped out the worst of the vignette, from sky glow, but some still remains.

Description: Went back to this image with Fitswork to remove the darn gradient from the reflected streetlight glow off the back of my house. A few touch ups and recrop now that the gradient is gone.
