Hi,

this is the first reasonably succesfull image i've taken since i got the ASI 1600MM-Pro, also post process with Pixinsight hasn't been a smooth transition.

Still got some square reflection (i guess fron the sensor) on the brightest stars, but i'm quite happy with the result, i didn't wanted to overdo it in post.

Specs:

Esprit 120 @ f5.25 (TS 0.75 reducer)

ZWO ASI 1600mm-Pro

ZWO EFW and Astronomik filters

ZWO OAG with 120MM mini

EQ6R-Pro

APT for Capture

PHD2 guiding

DSS, Pixinsight and PS CS6

Integration @ 60sec/frame : 300 L ; 110 R ; 110 G ; 110 B so 10,5h total

 

 

Thanks for looking 😃

This is a lovely image Miguel, definitely not pushed too hard so a nice clean background and the nebulosity looks really nice

I agree with Martin, it looks really nice and not pushed too hard.  The background is smoooooth.

I think you could push a little harder!
