Hey!

I took this last night, as it was pretty clear for a change!

Total of 33 x 30 second subs. 20 x Darks, no Bias. 20 x Flats.

Processed in light-room and photoshop.

Thanks!

Some nice colour you have and also tight stars. Which corrector do you use? You seem to have some distortion towards the edges.

Would you mind if I combine your image with ~30 min of O3 also taken with the 130 PDS? I'm thinking that this will be my next main target and I'm interested in a RGB + narrowband combination.

Here's my O3 if you're interested to include it in your image.

Edit: I found also 20x15s of Ha taken late February with the 90/900 achromat if I remember well.

Thanks. 

I haven't got a coma corrector, I have used lightroom to counter some of the coma; but it's not enough.

One wont be able to layer over unless both used or didn't use a coma corrector. Would have been good otherwise!
