Description

After years of collecting dust, I finally setup my Skywatcher Black Diamond 254 Newtonian as my main imaging rig. Plenty more upgrades are needed - primarily a 2" filter wheel system and APS-C camera, so working around the vignetting from my current 1.25" filter wheels and 4/3" camera were a bit of a challenge. Looking forward to improvements in the future!

This is my very first attempt at a galaxy. Taken over two nights from Perth, Western Australia in Bortle 6 skies. Aquisition over both nights was taken using NINA's advanced sequencer. I've recently updated my sequences to work smarter (not harder) while I'm comfortably asleep in bed.
