Description

The data for this image was acquired partially in 2017 and then later in 2019 from Class 4 Bortle skies, west and north of Milwaukee, WI. In total:

L: 23@600s

R: 7@600s

G: 7@600s

B: 17@600s

Processed using PixInsight as a traditional image and then used Starnet++ which worked wonders to produce what you see here. I was amazed at how much more dust and dark nebula was visible without the stars to distract your eye.

Equipment was as follows:

Stellarvue SVAT130 at f/5

Hypertuned Celestron CGEM DX mount

QSI690-wsg8 w/ Astrodon filters (autoguide camera was Lodestar X2)

Captured using Sequence Generator Pro and processed in PixInsight
