Description

Clouds, moon and work have conspired against me over recent months, so I have reverted to processing data captured earlier in the year. This is my best attempt from 33 minutes of OSC data using an ASI094mc. The subs have been kept to 30 secs to retain some star color. If clouds permit, I hope to add some 1600mm luminance data in the New Year to tighten up the stars and background.

This is one of my favourite visual targets, which originally encouraged me to learn more about the night sky. It would be wonderful to see all of these star colors through the eyepiece!
