About this image

Moon at 30% meant sky background was quite bright so teasing out faint nebulosity was tricky. Used Affinity Photo's tone stretching function to do this. Camera, Mount and Guide camera controlled using APT. Images aligned, stacked and processed with Affinity Photo and GraXpert. I prefer galaxies to nebulae, just need to wait a few weeks for these to come into view.
