About this image

NGC 281 was imaged over two nights on the weekend of August 30 and August 31. Total: 3 hours with 10-second exposures.

These files were then stacked in SIRIL with processing done in SIRIL and then Photoshop.

Not bad for a telescope that costs a lot less than my other, more advanced equipment.
