Just 70mins of data ( an additional 50mins would have been better ) using an ASI224mc on a Skywatcher 6 inch Newtonian. Shooting at 750mm focal length, I had to turn the camera almost 45 degrees to fit it on the sensor. Rather noisey and certainly not pixel peeping material but reasonably pleased with the result. Taken from a Bortle 6 backyard, processed using DSS and PS and also StarTools for some noise reduction. :)

Well that’s come up quite well! Even some colour coming through too and for 750mm focal length quite nice detail too. Nice effort

Thanks Dave, I'm glad you noticed some colour, it's meant to be a colour camera, so I guess I must be doing something right! :lol: I know what you mean though, teasing colour out of galaxies from a light polluted sky using a OSC camera becomes a challenge.
