Equipment

  • OM System EM1.3 full spectrum modded
  • PanaLeica 200m f/2.8
  • iOptron SkyGuider Pro with iPolar
  • UV/IR-cut filter (H-alpha pass)

Acquisition

  • Shot 2 weeks ago from Bortle 3-4 zone
  • 286*13 sec exposures (ISO 6400, f/2.8)
  • No calibration frames

Processing (PI, Affinity)

  • Stacked and Processed in PI
    • WBPP, MultiscaleGradientRemoval, BlurX, StarX, NoiseX, Histogram Trafo + Curves
    • Following Adam Blocks walkthrough
  • Manually correcting the last gradients in Affinity
  • Crop, Saturation and Contrast in Affinity

I tried shooting flats a week late in my apartment, but they had basically no effect on the result of the stacking.
