Description

I've been away from astrophotography for almost two years but began capturing again in November 2022. I have added an autoguider to my workflow using PHDII  and I used SharpCap for polar alignment rather than the built-in polar scope of my Sky Guider Pro. I'm still trying to get the hang of processing astro images so my results may still look a little rough. I'm still struggling with banding from my 5DSR sensor. Traces of it are still apparent in the photograph. I think doing longer exposures may help, although each frame exposed for nearly 200 seconds  at f/2, ISO 800.
