Description

Trying to learn how to shoot and process DSO photographs, this is my first attempt at capturing a Nebula. Using a mirrorless ILCE (Sony A9) and 70-200 f/2.8 lens on a tripod with star tracker, I was limited to 30" exposures due to lack of equipment. This photograph, 55 frames at 30 seconds, 200mm f2.8 ISO 640, stacked in Pixinsight and processed using Photoshop. I am clearly missing a lot of detail but encouraged by the initial results.
