Description

This is my first take at capturing the IFN in Draco from my Bortle 5 backyard.

RGB unmodified and unfiltered DSLR (A7SII), on a iOptron SkyGuider Pro, with Samyang 135mm @f2/8.

170 x25s lights (600 originally, I had to drastically select the lights due to passing clouds), darks, flats, bias.

Processing in Siril, Photoshop, Lightroom.

Everything went wrong with this image, from the bad framing, to the cirrus clouds, to sensor banding, splitting, and weird color swathes... but I am pretty delighted to have ended up (with HEAVY processing) with SOME results, considering the setup and sky conditions. The initial stack was hopeless.

Hopefully a better V2 will come to light soon
