Description

This is the luminance taken in one evening of very good seeing from my balcony. At the very beginning, I underestimated the amount of signal and the fine details my images had because of the presence of significant skyglow which I had to remove before.

The result really surprised me, considering that I used a cheap SkyWatcher 150PDS Newtonian scope.

The next step is to take some RGB data in order to colorize it properly. Really looking forward for the final result!
