Description

After a very long hiatus I'm easing my way back into the hobby. First time capturing these two, I thought they were dimmer then they actually are. Only managed to get about an hour on target before it set behind trees, hopefully clear nights will continue and I can get some more data.

Pretty simple processing; stacked via Siril, photometric colour calibration, SCNR, background extraction, histogram transform and an asinh transform. Not a lot of data here so I didn't bother trying to do noise reduction or mess about with star reductions or masking.
