Description

After a few test shots with short exposure time I had the impression that the object needs a little more attention. I therefore set the exposure time to 1800s. This is close to the maximum exposure time of 2000s possible with the ASI2600mc. The long exposure time is also a good test to see if the mount can handle it. In the end I was surprised how easy everything worked out. By the way, I did not touch the color saturation. The intense colors of the stars are a result of the photometric calibration.
