Description

Perseus Cluster (Abell 426)

I love astrophotography when I capture DSOs at 237 million light-years away AND beyond, with a 4in refractor!!

Svbony 503 102ED with the field flattener for FL 571mm
Canon T5i - not modified for astrophotography
AVX, ZWO 30F4, ASI 120mini
Svbony CLS filter
from our bortle 5 backyard

89 subs, the best of 100, 5min photos stacked or 7.4hrs of imaging, and calibration frames.
APT, PHD2, Siril, Photoshop, StarNet2
Imaged from my backyard with the light of half a moon.

This is a reworking of my 2023 data while I wait for the weather to improve, clouds and aurora borealis have been preventing me from catching photons.
