I'm relatively new to amateur astronomy/astrophotography. Owned a SW Star Adventurer for around a year, barely giving it any use. I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to a proper dedicated rig recently (around 3 months ago) and since purchasing, circumstances (mostly weather!) have always gotten in the way of getting to use the new rig. The last couple of nights I've sighed an enormous breath of relief as I FINALLY have an image!
Taken with an ASI1600MM-Pro, mounted to a Sharpstar CF-80 on an HEQ5-Pro.
73x300s Ha, 23x300s OIII, just under 9 hours in total.
Darks and flats used.
I split the second night in half capturing both OIII and SII data, but the SII really only ruined the final image so I decided to go with an HHO split. I'm sure more OIII would have helped here, but I'm just happy to have something to share.
Thanks for checking it out
