Description

I found some old data from 2014, so I wanted to combine what I had from 2017 to the newly discovered subs.  The Stellarvue Nighthawk is an achromat, and as such I was getting some pretty bad aberration in the stars and a rather blotchy galaxy, and the Astronomik CLS filter made things much worse (now I know I would have benefited from much shorter subs without the filter).  Nevertheless, I tried my hand at the data with my new Pixinsight skills and I'm fairly happy with the result for data taken when I was just beginning astrophotography.  I'm excited to compare this image with ones obtained with the SV90T on the same targets.
