Acquisition details:

Canon 2000D with 75-300 kit lens on a cheap Amazon basics tripod at 180mm focal length cropped down later to avoid stacking artifacts

Exposures: 1,890 x 1.6s @6400 ISO f/5.0

100 Darks 60 Flats 100 Biases

Stacked and processed in Siril using background extraction plate solving and finally stretching the image with some final touch ups in Lightroom.

I definitely overstretched this image a bit but I wanted to get all the detail I could as this will probably be my last DSO image for a while until I get my skywatcher EQ mount.

  1. Nice shot, but with your total integration time you can probably do even better in post processing, I posted my take with Orion couple of days ago and I used video guide by delta astrophotography channel, video about orion nebula from 2y ago, it did wonders to my photo with half of your total integration time
