Popular Post 8472 Posted June 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2018 This is probably a personal best for me, as far as total integration time goes. 320x 60s Lights 265 Darks 327 Flats 324 Bias Imaged over the course of 2 nights (well three, counting the extra calibration frames thrown into the mix) Baader BCF modified Canon 1100d 250mm Soligor F/4.5 prime @ F/5.6 Skytech CLS Filter Star Adventurer (Unguided) Stacked in DSS (2x drizzle) Processed in Startools (Binned 74.63% to achieve correct image scale) Finished in Gimp First light with my new-to-me vintage lens, and to say i'm pleased with it is an understatement, considering I paid peanuts for it.

8472 Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Cheers guys. I'd imaged this region a few days earlier, at 135mm with a supposedly better lens, but was not satisfied with the results. 250mm seems the perfect fit, at least for my equipment.
