After hours of learning and frustration (I am sure we have all been there) I finally managed to acquire my first ever subs on Saturday night. Equipment list below. Tracking was not perfect and I know I can do much better in that department. Focus could also be better however seeing conditions were not exceptionally good which did not help.
Image has been very quickly processes in GIMP. I have no idea what I am doing with processing (that is the next thing to learn LOL). Also intend to get Adobe Creative Cloud so not wanting to invest time in learning too much in GIMP.
Not a perfect result but happy for a first attempt.
24 x 180 second subs. Calibrated with Flats, Dark Flats and Darks. Taken from my backyard (Outer Adelaide Suburbs, Bortle 5).
