I started this image a while ago and didn't realise it had a super nova until I started looking at other images before I processed. I still struggled with the colour as I cannot seem to get a good reference for a small scope.
So, probably not a 5 inch scope target although I seem to have sorted my focusing issues as no sharpening or de-convolution has been used. Good or bad, Ill let you guys and gals be the judges!
A little over 7.5 hours and quite a few friends in the background.
