Description

First multi-session project with my ASI183MC Pro. I am still trying to get the camera settings optimized using SharpCap and it's brain-tool. First I did a few test-runs with "Max. Dymanic Range" (i.e. 0 Gain) and 300s exporures.

In this run I went for a Gain of 50 and the brain tool calculated optimal exposures of 123s.

I think these app. 20 hours of total exposure are the limit from my Bortle Class 5 area in western Germany. Maybe I can still optimize the camera settings by measuring the skyglow more precise.

This picture shows the dust around NGC7023 at least slightly.

Regards,

Sven
