Description

This is a project working with my alternate equipment. The camera is a OSC Orion, used in a pretty light polluted sky. With 5 hours here it was very noisy, but it gave me time to work with PixInsight to learn more. Gradients and calibration frames have been a challenge. I got frustrated with this camera when I first started. I've decided to go back now and see if I can improve with it. 60X 5min subs. I resized the image for now because it does not hold up at full size.
