Description

Difficult image with an astro modded DSLR, 48 x 300s for 4 hours total in Bortle 5 skies shot unfiltered low near the Horizon towards London's light pollution. First try of such a target with the old Canon 400D DSLR after astro modifying it myself. Looking to get a monochrome camera in the not too distant future for narrowband imaging.

Skywatcher 130PDS on EQ5 mount DIY converted to motorised and guided solution with OnStep with custom focuser

Autoguided with PHD2 using a Svbony 50mm guidescope and ZWO ASI290mm mini

Automated using Astroberry running on a Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB) and controlled remotely over WiFi with VNC
