Weather hasn’t cooperated the past couple months, especially the wind with such a large telescope. All this time I thought I was in bortle 6/7 but turns out I was looking at old data and it’s actually 8. Given that, I’m pretty happy with this result and how little data I acquired. The new VeraLux denoising was great to use.
