NGC 4490 - The Cocoon Galaxy

[Gabrielwiklund]

Hi all,

Thought i would share my favorite image i took the last season.

 

High Coast of Sweden, backyard (rural skies)

March 12th 2023, (skies are the most transparent/dark here in March and April)

60x300s (5h)

 

 

Sky-Watcher Explorer 200PDS

HEQ5 Pro

Omegon Pro Velox 224 C (uncooled guide/planetary camera with the IMX224 sensor)

50/200mm Guidescope

ZWO ASI 120MM Mini

EQMOD, Nina, PHD2, Siril

Can't wait for the season to begin again, about 2 weeks left if it happens to be clear. I´ve got the 533MC Pro now but i must say that the planetary camera was a fantastic first camera for my first season in astrophotography considering how little i had to pay for it.
