Description

This image is a result of the joint efforts between myself and @Boyan Kassabov.

This image is an alliance between:
- Mono and Color;
- Triplet APO Refractor and Schmidt-Cassegrain;
- APT and Nina

Details for the used systems:

1/ My system and frames:
- Celestron C6 + 0.63x Reducer = imaging at 945mm.
- Resolution - 0.82" pixel.
- Zwo Asi2600 MC Pro cooled at -10 degrees.
- Baader Neodymium Filter.
- Guiding through a guiding scope.
- Autofocus through Nina at each 30 mins.
- Frames - 36x600 secs + 56x300 secs.
- Integration of data from my system - close to 11  hours.

2/ Boyan's system and frames:
- Skywatcher Esprit 120ED APO Triplet imaging at 840mm.
- Resolution - 1.10" pixel.
- QHY-22 at -30 degrees.
- LRGB filters.
- Off-axis guiding.
- Frames - 12x300 Blue, 12x300 Green, 24x300 Red, 24x300 Luminance.
- Integration of data from Boyan's system - 6 hours.

Total integration - close to 17 hours.

This is my processed version of the jointly gathered data. I have used the frames of Boyan as reference ones for star alignment and integration considering the higher resolution and considering that his star field is more flat than mine.

Clear skies,
Ivan
