Nikon Z6ii, 30” exposures (because NINA was playing up!), with a 300mm f/2.8 lens on an EQ6-r mount from Herts, UK, Bortle 5.
I got 124 subs, and stacked in Siril using OSC prepro Script alongside the standard set of calibration frames.
Siril inbuilt features to reduce noise, and stretch thereafter.
After some fiddling with settings and equipment I finally got my first galaxy image and I am so happy with it.
I plan to build up my equipment to obtain a mono camera and decent glass. Because whilst this is astonishing to me, I know I am just touching the tip of the iceberg here.
