Description

My very first pinwheel. I tried a slightly different processing flow on this however there are some very bright star clusters where I am losing detail. That might not be a problem with enough integration time, 2x-3x as much.

75 x 3m luminance, RGB 25/20/20 x 3m.

Lacerta Newton 250 f4/1000mm , ZWO ASI1600mm at -15deg, astronomik LRGB 36mm filters, iOptron CEM70.

Guided OAG/ASI290M. Stacked with DSS and processed with PixInsight.

Backyard, town, bortle 5.
