Horsehead Nebula zoomed in

On 12/04/2024 01:00 am by Andy Dungan | Website | Near Cotopaxi, Colorado USA

I started on the evening of 12/1 and after numerous mistakes and uncooperative clouds I managed to get 70 pics I could use (by 12/4). I am having fun with the ASI585MC Pro because it lets me get way more zoomed in without buying an expensive telescope. Space really is fun. The problem with the 585 is now I want to get a longer focal length telescope so I can get pics of the things that are little using the 585.

ASI585MC Pro gain 252, Askar V@600f7.5, 70 10 minute exposures
over 2 nights plus darks/flats
AM5/ASIair+, Askar OAG with ASI174mini for guiding

Affinity Photo 2 to stack/process, Starnet2 to separate stars
