It’s galaxy season and this is my first time trying my skills at broadband targets from bortle 9 skies. I’ve always avoided them from urban areas for obvious reasons. Time being the main one but also my lack of knowledge with these types of targets in terms processing and getting reasonable results. So I was nervous but curious and also feeling up to the challenge. So, here it is. My first attempt and I’m pretty pleased. Especially since it’s only 6hrs of data. Any suggestions for improvements greatly appreciated. I’m here to learn.
