Totalling 6 hours and 59 min.

Most of this collected on 19.11.2020 and the rest on 21.11.2020

If anything, I should have collected a little more Ha.

Anyways a fun project to do. Hope you like, and Clear skies!

Well into galaxy season of 2020, I'm gathering some subs of the Pinwheel galaxy. Often in these kind of images, there are multiple fuzzies in the background.

Most of these are far away galaxies. But where are they? Some of the ones in this image is easily visible, but some just looks like small fuzzy stars. So with the powerful image tool Pix Insight at my hands, I went about making a star chart of this image.

After calibrating all the L filter subs, registering and stacking. I then inverted the image, normalized the background, gave it a light stretch and annotated it using PixInsight.

Who would have guessed that there are 100+ galaxies visible in this relatively short integration of the Pinwheel?

Hope you enjoy! Clear skies!

This image integration is of 30x 25sec, and 15x 35sec subframes for the L channel.

For color data it is 20x 35sec for both R, G and B. The color data is also binned 4x4.

This makes this a ~55 minutes project.

Just some fun before moonrice on Aprit 10th 2020
