Description


Messier 41



Messier 41 taken with an Orion 203mm f/4.9 Newtonian, Paracorr II, and ZWO ASI294MC Pro. Total of 59 x 15 second frames at 120 gain. Frames captured in Sequence Generator Pro and processed with Astro Pixel Processor and Photoshop.







Puzzled by the source of the stray light in the top right corner. There doesn't appear to be any stars outside the field bright enough to cause an issue. The artifact is in the raw files so it isn't a processing issue. Will have to look for stray sources of light around the observatory.
