About this image

Finally some clear nights!

After two nights fine tuning the mount & PA I wasn't particularly happy with the stacking. Decided to use the time to learn N.I.N.A (Night-time Imaging 'N' Astronomy).

Image is produced just from one short night of imaging and stacked in DeepSkyStacker. A small amount of manipulation in GiMP but I've a lot to learn about post-processing and that is something for another day.

Still have some updates to the rig - now have a ZWO auto-focuser to fit and a pier for a permanent mount before the longer nights arrive.
