Description

Second night imaging with the new Celestron AVX mount (my first mount!) with my existing non modified Sony A7iii and my telephoto lens from my rooftop terrace at home.

Lucky enough to get 2 nights of clear skies in a row around the new moon and even though I'm very much in the middle of urban Sydney and the light pollution is massive (Bortle 8/9).. and I don't have any light pollution filters yet, with a half decent polar alignment and enough signal data, you can still come out with a decent image.

Inital alignment in DSS then processing in PixInsight and then PS. The light pollution gradient removal tool in PixInsight is amazing!

This was taken on the Sony A7iii, 200-600mm lens on the Celestron AVX mount. Around 50 minutes of light data in 30s subs @ iso 1200 with a ~12 dark and ~20 bias frames.
