Description

Pacman nebula right next to Cassiopeia asterism. Big yellow star is Schedar/Alpha cassiopeia. My longest integration yet with 2 hours of data. Little over a year into the hobby, post processing has been improving nicely (at least my own opinion), ways to go still.

Limiting factor on the equipment side is mount. With 200mm focal length and APS-C sensor, I can get 30-60s shots with the SWSA.
