Not a wall hangar but it still looks cool given my equipment and skills level.

Jellyfish Nebula along with the Monkey head Nebula and M35. Bortle 4 in Alaska.

Unmodified Canon T6
135mm rokinon f2.8, ISO 400
196×45 seconds unguided. Appx 2.5 hours. Going for 240 but a wayward dew heater cable bound up and screwed up a bunch of subs.
20 darks, 50 biases, 25 flats
Skywatcher GTI

This was my first time imaging remotely using a mini pc and NINA. Took a while to get everything figured out but once I got it working it was nice to be able to run everything from inside.

Processing:
Siril OSC pre processing script, Crop, graxpert AI background extraction, AI denoise, siril PCC, starnet star removal, asinh stretch histogram stretch, curve adjustments, saturation adjustments on starless image. Star recomposition and final stretches.

I know even with a modded dslr or an astro cam this needs a lot more integration. It was difficult to stretch enough to get the nebula without showing a bunch of noise. Given that Im still pleased with it. If I get another clear night soon Ill try and get more data.
