Description

This data was basically a test of shooting at 600mm without auto-guiding. A lot of detail is shown here considering only short 30" subs were used. Shot with a Nikon D750 and Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 AI-S ED lens + 2x teleconverter, giving f/5.6 @ 600mm. 98 x 30" exposures were captured. Tracked using the AstroTrac TT320X-AG. Processed using Lightroom, Deep Sky Stacker, RNC-Color-Stretch, RawTherapee, and Photoshop.
