Description

This image is from a combination of 16h of data from my main 106mm refractor at 530mm focal length using the OSC ASI 2600MC, plus 15h of data from my RedCat51 (at 250mm focal length with an ASI 533MM camera) piggybacking on top of the main scope like a guide scope.
I drizzled the mono data at scale 2 and the OSC data at scale 1 to roughly align the pixel scales (due to the different focal lengths, but same pixel size) before combining.

The data was captured over three nights 16-18 January 2023, all 2 minutes subs, except for 30sec subs for the stars using the 533mm
