Description

This is my latest capture showing the Fireworks Galaxy (25 million light-years away) on the left and the Ghost Bush Cluster (3,860 light-years away) on the right. I used my Celestron RASA telescope and ASI533MC one-shot-color camera.

The total number of exposures is 1,489 (each one 15 seconds) for a total of 6.2 hours of exposure time.  Gain 100, Offset 70.

All of the data was captiured in September, 2021.
