Description

This picture has been captured on 10.06.2023 after a first visual firstlight with my new TOA 130.

Total exposure only 44 min, divided in 2 min LRGB subs.

In fact all has been done NOT as it should be.

No flattner (just arrived this week) - so dont look to much at the field stars, no darks, no flats, quite some hotpixels.
On top no atronomical twilight (sun only been at -13 to -15°).

Stars have not been tweaked and no noise reduction (beside SNCR). Easy processing in PixInsight (Background Extraction, Color Calibration, Strech, CurveTransfortmation).

However, to my opinion the result is presentable (background might be a bit too bright).

Kind regards,
Alex
