Seventy 120-second subframes captured with a Skywatcher Esprit 100mm refractor and an ASI071MCPro camera on an EQ8 mount. Captured with Sharpcap and processed with Nebulosity and Photoshop.

Looks pretty good Tim; have you tried longer exposures to bring out more nebulosity?

Nice Tim. Great colour! It's looks a bit saturated or something - maybe just over stretched?

120sec subs should be good with this camera if you are working at low gain. What gain did you use?

Cheers Chris
