Description

Second image with ASI094MC. The Crescent Nebula is faint. This is 40 x 5 minute subs taken with FSQ-106EDX4. This required a lot of stretching to bring out the nebula. I am still learning how to post process with Photoshop. I will be using Pixinsight soon to reprocess this after I get better with Photoshop. I am using the Baader UV/IR cut filter with these images. I will be trying narrowband 2" filters soon that will screw onto the adapter in place of the UV/IR cut. This image was unguided using my MYT with Protrack and a 190 point model. Seems to be tracking well and a lot easier than using a guide scope or OAG imo.
