Description

This image is the result of a night testing my first ever auto-guiding set up. Although the StarAdventurer only guides in RA, I was able to push my usual 30 sec subs up to 90 secs - very satisfying.

Since this shoot was mainly about testing my set-up, I only captured 45 minutes of data on NGC 7000. Plus, I was shooting around the Summer Solstice so I didn't have long to shoot anyway. This meant I had to push the image quite hard in post-processing. Nevertheless, I'm pleased with the result.

I experimented with frequency separation in post-processing as well and found it a helpful way to remove noise while retaining a good overall aesthetic.

Comments always welcome.

Clear skies!
