About this image

Images captured using SharpCap's Live Stacking routine, aligned, stacked and processed with Affinity Photo with additional gradient removal with GraXpert. One of three targets in one night with just 50 minutes of imaging. I wasn't very hopeful that I could get a good enough signal to noise ratio, but in the end I was quite pleased with the result. As the object was in the East field rotation was not so great and easy to compensate for.
