Camera: Iphone 17 pro max main camera (26mm)
App used to take the subs: Astroshader
Telescope: Apertura ad8
Tracking: None
Lens: Out of the box 30mm wide view lens
Software used: Deep sky stacking (DSS) for stacking, Siril for editing
Subs: 300 in total, 297 after removing bad frames
Exposure time: 0.6 seconds
I used DSS to stack the images, used no darks, flats, or biases, only lights.
Then went on to siril to:
- Crop to remove artifacts
- Extracted the background
- Removed green noise
- Stretched the histogram
- Edited the curves
- Added some color saturation
First professional dso I've ever taken, and I am honestly impressed how much detain I can get from only 178 total sec of exposure, a smartphone, a dob, and some software.
I am planing on getting much more images so I can stack them later on and get better results.
