Description

B33 and NGC2024 from my backyard!
This is the first time I used the QHY294c-pro astronomy camera in shooting a deep-sky object!
Gain and offset values set respectively to 1087 and 40 and I did not use at that time the cooler (the sensor temperature was around 16 °C).
B33 is a target I love too much so I decided to have a first light to that wonderful region of the sky surrounding Alnitak.
I used also the Optolong L-enhance dual-band filter in order to catch as much as possible all nebulae marvellous signals so avoiding light pollution.
I'm looking as soon as possible to increase the integration time!
I carefully worked in post-processing in order to increase the signal over noise ratio, reducing as much as possible the noise.
