Description

2-panel mosaic of NGC 1499 and surrounding dust. Captured through Kstars/Ekos with my modded Canon 600D, Rokinon 135mm f/2 at f/2.8, and iEXOS-100 mount. I was able to get 115 subs for the first panel, and 88 subs for the second panel of 120-second guided subs at ISO800.

Calibrated/stacked in Astro Pixel Processor, then stars removed via Starnet++ and recombined with final tweaks in GIMP. With all the clouds we have been having this season, both panels are a bit starved for data, so the noise definitely shows.

C&C welcome!
