I left a little overlap between the two panes. The image of the nebula in the framing isn't my own, but the default image provided by the calculator:
The target is very low on the horizon at the moment and within the most light polluted portion of my available sky. It also isn't very dark at the moment during the nights but I couldn't pass up on a clear skies.
I managed 2 hours and 30 minutes after throwaway subs (there was some wind), just enough to hit my goal for that pane.
Whilst it int the best quality due to the conditions, it will do until I get a chance to take something better.
The image is 10x15 minutes in Ha with flats and bias frames applied. I have done a quick stretch to bring out the detail a bit but nothing to serious.
Stage one is now 40% complete
