Hello,

Image Details:

• Skywatcher 150PDS
• Skywatcher Coma Corrector
• Canon 450D modded Camera
• QHY5 Guide scope
• HEQ5 Pro (Rowan Belt Mod)
• 300 x 120sec lights @ ISO800 (10 Hours)
• 40 x Flats
• 60 x Darks
• 35 x Bias
• CLS Light Pollution Clip In Filter
• Bortle 8 
• BackYard EOS - Camera control
• Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker 
• Gimp / Photoshop / Lightroom to process

My longest ever imaging session over 2 nights from inner city Birmingham. I tried not to clip the back point but I think I may have over done it. Stars were difficult top process too and zooming in, they are deformed but look ok at normal zoom. The CLS filter makes the colours hard to process but they look ok to me now (I'm colour blind so they may be off for others! ).

I'm please with the detail I managed to get but at 10 hours in a Bortle 8, I believe I am at the limit of what my kit can achieve.

Hope you enjoy
