Description

First Light of my new Newtonian from Lacerta (10" f/4 Fotonewton). A new telescope always brings many new challenges. I therefore had many new parameters to tweak this time. It starts with the adjustment of the telescope and goes over the recording of the flats up to the processing including stacking, background subtraction, stretching, the first HDR attempt up to the composition of the mosaic. But it's always joy when you end up with such a beautiful image in your hands!
Mosaic:
Pane 1 (running man) 73x 60s
Pane 2 (M42) 30x 10s & 64x 60s
