Description

I took this photo way back in May 2023 right at the end of astronomy season where I live (summer nights in Canada have basically no astronomical night) in my Bortle 8 backyard using an Askar FRA 300 Pro, an EQM-35i, my unmodded Nikon D5300, and a SVBony SV220 7nm dual-narrowband filter (all of which were sold in the summer for monetary reasons, but I am now getting back into astrophotography because of the longer nights provided by winter so I am deciding to post this now. Boy do I miss my gear but DARN was it expensive). Total integration time was about 9ish hours, taken over I believe 4 nights.

It was my last completed project before selling off all my aforementioned gear, and I think it does a very good job ending off my astrophotography journey for 2023. I needed to sell all of my gear to fund a car, but now that time has passed and money isn't so much of an issue anymore, I am VERY much looking forward to getting back into this breathtaking hobby. Thank GOODNESS PixInsight and all the -XTerminator plugins were non-refundable, because I still have all of them and can jump right back into astrophotography without worrying about re-purchasing the processing software.
