About this image

I've just got my Redcat 51, I do not have a cooled camera, so I thought I'd have a go with my planetary camera, ASI 678MC, It has a small field of view, so I went for a mosaic, lights only, no calibration frames, 2 x 2, 60 x 20-sec exposures,Bortle 6-7, was quite happy with the outcome. Saving up for the ASI 2600. But for now quite happy.

Software: Astro Pixel Processor, Siril, Lightroom
