Description

This is my attempt at the Heart and Soul Nebulas in Cassiopeia. This was my second time guiding with the ASI 120mm mini and PHD2 and it worked perfectly! Not a single bad frame (except for satelite streaks) for 4.5 hours! Granted, 3 min subs with a 50 mm lens is not very challenging, but it would not have been possible without guiding on my Star Adventurer - it seems to make quite a jump every 1 or 2 minutes, but guiding completely cures that.

The image is cropped quite a bit, since the Sigma lens has tons of aberrations, even stopped down to f/2.8 as it was here. But also because i started early and had quite a gradient over the final image curtesy of the wide field.

I think it is amazing what an unmodded, 10 year old DSLR can capture!
