Description

This is the first stacked & calibrated image I ever made and was taken around November 2021.  I never processed it properly and recently came back after learning more about Pixinsight.  I'm not thrilled with this, but as my first stacked/calibrated image I wanted to post it as a benchmark to compare future images to.  I did not take flat frames for this as I lacked the understanding (and a flat field generator which makes it easier to do).
