Description

First broadband image with the SV130.  I didn't have a dark library for the 2-minute exposures, so no darks.  Although I took flats, I had major donuts.  I adjusted the EFW to rotate in only one direction, but still got the donuts the second night, so that will be something to figure out for another day.  For now, I just limited the amount of stretch and used the healing tool in Affinity Photo to hide the donuts.  Cheating, I know, but it looks nice.  Several smaller galaxies popped up that I haven't noticed before, which is pretty neat.
