Allinthehead Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) With the moon about and still at 85% a cluster was the way to go. I'm still struggling with tilt or collimation in my system stars at the edges are poor. Still given the conditions and short integration time I think it came out rather well. 60 180 second subs at gain 0 and -10C Asi 2600mc through a Tak Epsilon 130, mounted on an AzEq6 Captured using Sgpro, processed in APP, PI and PS.

Hals Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Beautiful star colours and the dark nebulosity in the background gives it a magical almost 3D look. Very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steppenwolf Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Lovely image - this is also my favourite binocular object. The dust lanes and excellent star colours really bring this asterism to life on your image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hals. Most of my attention when processing went on the stars. 20 minutes ago, steppenwolf said: Lovely image - this is also my favourite binocular object.

Tom Thanks Tom, It's a photogenic target. 8 hours ago, MarkAR said: Superb image, star colour is excellent. Thanks Mark, worked hard on the stars. I might start taking shorter exposures in the future for enhanced star colour as the blue cores are blown out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
