North America & Pelican Nebulae

Recommended Posts

First outing with the scope since March for me on 12 September.  Hadn't been expecting to set up, but an unexpected clear sky when darkness fell persuaded me to check that I could still remember how to set up all my gear.

Scope: Skywatcher 72ED
Mount: Celestron Nexstar Evolution on wedge
Camera: Canon 6D
Flattener: OVL non-reducing flattener
Filter: Baader UHC-S
Guiding: QHY5LiiC / Skywatcher 9 x 50 finder
Software: CPWI, APT, PHD2, DSS, AstroFlat Pro, Photoshop CC
Subs: 41 x 180" ISO1600, no darks flats or bias (will take flats later when I get a chance, and reprocess)

It's now almost exactly 2 years since I made my first attempts at deep sky imaging, and although I can see a lot of improvement in my images I still consider myself a beginner so constructive criticism is most welcome, especially anything that helps to improve with the gear I have rather than equipment upgrades.
