Description

This is a work in progress, as I need to acquire a lot more data (this is less than 9 min total on two nights). I think 1h total exposure should be good. Not easy to wake up at 3-4 am to go outside and manually get a few shots and go back to sleep!

So for now the nebula processing is only possible due to the GraXpert denoise. And I think it looks a bit excessive.
GraXpert gradient removal also did a great job, as I did not get flat frames and there was some very visible vignetting at f/1.4. Also, no dark frames were taken… Finally, no color calibration yet 🙂

Also, it's incredible that you can take this on a static tripod without any tracking! I had to reposition the field every ~30 exposures though.
