You would expect to see such a detailed image to be captured far south in the canary islands or from the southern hemisphere but its actually possible to capture this in the "upper" nothern hemisphere!
We captured this image from
Entre encinas y estrellas where our remote telescope is located.
The milkyway core just gets above most of the little lightpollution and "atmosphere pollution".
Here you can see an image captured from my telescope live camera:
Our median SQM is roughly 21.5-6 with good nights reaching as high in the upper 21.8x this allows us to get very clean and deep data within a short amount of time!
It was so much fun to work with the data, there was little to zero serious noise in the image. With our total integration time of 44+hrs we achieved such a clean signal (be it on a bright area, yes) that it felt like cheating!
This might be the cleanest image I've ever edited.
What do you guys think?
