3.85 hours on the Andromeda galaxy and friends! I have quite a bit more data on this that I will have to process soon. It has already turned out so much better than expected.
Acquisition:
– ⏱️ 3.85 hours captured over one night
– 🌌 Andromeda Galaxy, M32, M110
– 🔭 Askar 71F (Scope), SkyWatcher GTi (Mount)
– 📸 Player One Ares-C Pro (Main Cam), ZWO 120MM Mini (Guide Cam), Optolong L-Quad Enhance (Filter)
– 📅 Bloomington, MN (Bortle 8) on 12/03/2025
Processing info:
Images captured and processed by me. Everything is calibrated using 50 darks, 20 flats (per night), and 50 biases. Stacked and edited with PixInsight.
