Description

Here is a single 120s guided exposure of the Needle Galaxy. Why only a single and no stacking? My laptop keeps crashing due to the file size so I ordered a powerhouse desktop with an AMD threadripper processor to calibrate and post-process my images. I have 3 hrs of data anxiously awaiting to be processed but I was surprised of the quality from this single frame. Very similar to my ASI533 MC Pro, which is essentially its little brother. Note NGC 4562 starting to appear as well just southeast of the Needle Galaxy.
