Description

My first AB upload, and probably last image of the season.

Widefield image with my Canon 200mm f/1.8 lens @f/2.8 using a ZWO 2600MC with an Astromechanics adapter.

I haven't managed to get good corners with this combo yet, and flatfielding is a real challenge, despite using a good flat device.

It took 4 different DBE's in Pixinsight to get a relatively good background, but artifacts from the lens are still visible.

6°45' by 4°19' view of M84 and about a thousand other galaxies - Most too small to register as anything but a faint star.

Made using 39x180s OSC in Bortle 5 skies - I took 3 times as many subs, but clouds were abundant.
