Description

This photo was taken the 11th of Dec 2021 using my OpenAstroTracker and a Canon 450D with a Takumar 135mm lens.
No external guider or focus aid was used.
20x30" light, dark,  flat, and bias frames were processed with DSS, without exclusions
Original TIFF is 91MB.
Now is the question, how to get a similar photo with all the nice colors that one is used to see, I guess time (or someone) will tell (me).

All great fun, next step is to get the 183/50 guider working with PHD2 for some really loooooong exposures.
