Description

I haven't much experience with galaxies. It seems that the focal length on a RedCat is simply not suitable, for most targets. Still, since it is galaxy season I decided to give it a try and see what the little rig can do with limited time, short focal length, and light-polluted skies. I am pleased with the result. Any comments to help me improve on post-processing would be warmly accepted... The workflow is quite different from my usual range of subjects!

Thanks for taking the time to take a look.
