Description

Testing new Askar 180 Pro f4.5 Astrograph Lens/scope. It worked very well nice tight stars, As my aim was to mainly test the star performance I only used a Lum filter instead of my normal narrowband for this target and shooting over the motorway lights so not a lot of signal to work with so had to go aggressive with the noise reduction which has made it a bit blotchy, needed more time really.

Guided, captured, stacked, DDP, Gradient removal in MaximDL.
Processed in Photoshop 2023, Starnett++2 for M1 Mac, RC Astro Noise Exterminator.
