M97 and M108

This time i wanted to take a picture of something more difficult to test my equipment, so i took some images of owl nebula and surfboard galaxy

It was freezing so i took only 30x2min exposures,5 darks and 10 bias and some flat frames

stacked in dss and edited in PI

 image is a tight crop

and was taken in bortle 4 with canon 1300d, tair 300mm f4.5 and Skywatcher SA without guiding

iso 800, aperature wide open

owl and surfboard were really small and not that bright(10mag) but i didn't have many problems while taking pictures and found them pretty fast with starhoping method

ps in the uncropped version i also captured 2 ngc galaxies which are 14 mag

That's a good result for unguided - keep it up!

Yes, a good start for 60m of data.

tnx for response, this shot was just to test my equipment, next time i am going to take more data and more calibration frames  

[Demonperformer]

Ah yes, the stage I always want to avoid because there are too few good nights to spend them on mere testing!
