Description

After a long wait it feels great to be back in astrophotography - long summer with light polluted nights is finally over. Bortle 8 feels like walk in the park in comparison 😆

Had some extra setting up to do with a new (repurposed) mini-PC attached to the mount so almost missed the Veil nebula.. It was already past South so there was little time left before it would be blocked by the house to the West.

Framing was a bit rushed in to maximize the integration time - controlling the mini-PC through a tablet and mini keyboard takes some practice.. Plus had some trouble with guiding but all in all I'm reasonable happy with the outcome.

Modified Canon 1100d @ ISO 1600. Lights: 53x180". Calibration: 40 flats, 20 darks, 20 dark flats, 20 bias.

As always, improvement suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks for watching, clear skies and stay safe!
