Description

The first light of my widefield setup. I ended up choosing WO Redcat 51 and the 2600MC combo. Originally, I wanted to use my Takahashi FS-60CB for imaging, but I decided to use it for visual purposes. I am choosing broadband targets since I cannot do narrowband imaging with my current wide-field setup. There was a big problem with handling the huge amount of stars, which overpowered the nebulosity. Using starnet++ in PixInsight improved the results, but I still think the process could be improved. Any suggestions or feedback will be greatly appreciated.
