Hi all,
These are my first images in a loooong time! I got a new setup, being a samyang 135 lens and AZ-GTi mount. Awesome setup for sure, and i can take images in no time at f/2!
The Small Magellanic Cloud. Shot with NINA, processed in Pixinsight. Gear: ASI1600MM-c ZWO LRGB, Samyang 135mm F2.
Acquisition: 1hr x 60s of LRGBHa each, in total 5hrs. This is from my bortle 6 backyard. https://www.astrobin.com/1r1t3j/

The Ha on the SMC was blended with NBRGB, but that seemed to upset the colour balance. How does everyone recommend combination in pixinsight?

Two nice shots there Logan :thumbsup: It's good when you can fit the whole of each MC in the one field, the beauty of imaging with a camera lens :)

Really nice pics Logan - these two objects have some interesting objects in them if you look closely. Cheers, John W.

I really like both compositions of these two galaxies. The field of view just suits these two perfectly, probably more so with the SMC. Not sure about the colour though.

Two very tidy shots. Pretty deep. Well done. :thumbsup:
