This shot represents about 4.5 hours of 1-minute subs on the whirlpool galaxy last night from my bortle 8 backyard. Went after the faint surrounding dust and was really happy with the result despite intense light pollution. ASI533MC pro camera, EQ6-R pro mount, Nexstar 8SE scope, hyperstar v3 F/2.1, captured in NINA, stacked in SIRIL, processed in Pixinsight.
