Description

This is my first image processed with Pixinsight and it was quite an adventure to say the least. It is also the first astro photo I have captured with my modified Canon 5D MKII and Askar 60mm f/5 quintuplet flat-field astrograph. My mount was a ZWO AM5 controlled (partially) with a ZWO ASIAIR+. Fine focus and exposure sequence were handled by Backyard EOS. The site of the photo was Big Bend National Park, Texas--a Bortle 1 zone. Seeing was average but I had clear skies on four consecutive nights. Shooting under Bortle 1 skies is a luxury that is worth driving 450 miles for. I live in Texas, after all so long driving distances are a fact of life. I have been wanting to photograph these astro twins in Auriga for some time now. Total Integration time was 7 hours. I used no filters or calibration frames.
