Description

This image is a great example of why I love astrophotography.

I've observed the globular cluster M13 countless times through an eyepiece. But I had not seen the two spiral galaxies IC 4617 and NGC 6207 until I reviewed the images in this stack.

This image was captured using SharpCap then stacked and processed using PixInsight. I used AstroFlat pro in Photoshop to reduce the dark noise in the final image.

Here are the specs:

Lights: 10 x 120"

Darks: 30

Bias: 30

Flats: 30
