Description

This picture was taken with a Sony A7RIV and SkyWatcher Esprit 100 ED APO mounted on a Skywatcher 900 mm column and AZ-EQ 6 pro-mount guided with EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC TDM TRACKING UNIT (expensive but what a marvel of precision less than 1 Arcsec) I took 8 pictures (no dark no flat no filter) of 7 minutes each at 50, 100,200,400,and 800 iso.

Stacked with Sequator, and Photoshop CC 19.

The Star Trek effect is due from the lack of correct flat field lens adaptor for my camera. (Which I will purchase very soon.)

I also used the Polemaster (which is a great tool with a very buggy software) to align my scope.
