Description

I was testing my new Sony Alpha 6400 with my WO Spacecat, controlled by indi/ekos/kstars/astroberry on a raspi4. It was my first light and I was merely interested if the setup at all was working well. I took only a couple of shots with different targets and settings. This one was the ring nebula with 8x60s. I processed the light frames without using dark and flat frames and the result turned out to be a surprisingly nice image. I like how tiny and alone M57 appears in the star field.

I think I fell in love with this camera
