Finally had a clear and moonless night to set up my new camera for my FLT 91 telescope. ZWO 2600MC. This is only a quick stack of 21 subs x 1min unguided.
Only being 21min of time has started to show nice details, It will look really nice after I have hrs more data added to it. I do live in a bortle 4 area.

Nice result, I'm a bit envious of what you've got with only 21 minutes.

I do have the reducer installed. So I image at F4.7 at 430mm FL. That does give me a image scale of 1.80". Which is under sampled. So I will have to do a 2x drizzle.

A nice simple, natural, almost old school shot of this perennial, very nice :thumbsup:

A classic. Quite well done and worth investing more time on exposure.

Thanks Greg,
I'll be having a mostly clear week this week. So I should have enough data by the weekend to work on.

Cheers, I have the flattener, not the reducer on my FLT91, and I've been struggling with getting the backfocus right. Using the same camera, I might add. My compliments again, good result.
