Description

This was taken over three nights last week during British summer time, so no true astronomical darkness and from my Bortle 8 back garden. This was taken using a ZWO ASI 294MC Pro, coupled to a WO Redcat 51 V1.5 using an Optolong L-eXtreme 2" filter on a Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro mount. The image constitutes 87 x 300 minute subs (so just over 7 hours acquisition time) calibrated with darks, flats and dark flats. The image was stacked in DSS and processed within Siril and Photoshop. 

I think I'll add some broadband data to this one to correct the star colours at some point
