Didn't really expect much due to the near-full moon, very happy with the resultant image though!

Obligatory gear list:

  • Celestron CG5
  • StellaMira 80mm F6.25
  • Altair Hypercam 183c - the non-TEC model
  • 2" SVBony UV-IR Cut Filter
  • Basic 30mm F4 Guide Scope and SVBony SV305 Pro

50x240s Lights @ 100 Gain; Darks, Flats & Bias all used. Edited in Photoshop, Siril used for Photometric Colour Calibration and background removal, Noise XTerminator back in PS.

As always, all tips for improvement are greatly appreciated!
