Hi all - my first 'real' galaxy shot. I suspect I've over-coloured it a tad
As I have no guiding capability on my mount I wasn't sure how 2-minute subs would turn out (as the longest I have managed previously have been 1 minute) but I managed to use 10 out of 15 in the final stack with a little rudimentary star fixing in the post processing.
ED102, unmodded Pentax K-5, 10 x 2 min subs (unguided) at ISO 2500
