Description

My first attempt at blending exposures in Photoshop. The core here is about half an hour's worth of 30 second exposures (should have gone with 10s) and the outer edges are comprised of 24 two minute subs.

Stacked in DSS, blended and adjusted in Ps.

Imaging Telescope: Explore Scientific ED80, no barlow or flattener

Guiding: 3/5 - one of my first attempts.

Main Camera: ZWO ASI183MC Pro Cooled

Acquisition: ASIAIR Pro
