Heart Nebula taken from my Bortle 8 garden last week. I wanted this to be a bit of a project as I'd like 10 hours plus on this target (as I feel it's still a bit too noisy) but the great British weather isn't playing ball, but it's a start at least.

42 x 6 minute subs with darks, bias and flats

Skywatcher ED72 with OVL Flattener

SW HEQ5 Pro

Canon 450D self mod

Optolong L-eNhance

SW 50mm guidescope with ZWO ASI120mm mini guidecamera

Image capture in APT, dithering and guiding with PHD2. Processed in Siril and Photoshop 

Critique welcome

Can spot an L-eNhance photo a mile off. Great result form B8. Isn't it great what the humble 450D can achieve right? I like the structure you got within the core of the Heart nebula. NIce result.

Thank you. Yeah the 450D is pretty capable for what it cost. Noise is an issue with it, but it can be suppressed somewhat with dithering and plenty of integration time 😀
