Hi

I reckon it been nearly a year since I have taken a image -Jack has been a very dull boy 😁#

 

So the other night I managed to get a few hours on Ic1396 - And how many stars in this area ( will let you count )

 

capture details

1) About 2hrs of lum and 2hrs of RGB all taken in 5min subs

2) camera trius sx 56

3) telescope Tak 106 at f5

 

Just good to post a image

 

Regards

Nice one Harry.... I was interested to see out how you find out,  a quick Google revealed that Deep Sky Stacker can... it says 12271 stars..    although having just run it on my own Ha IC1396 gives a figure for the same area near to 20,000... whatever it is its a LOT
