M20 from suburbia

Hi all,

I won't bore you with a wall of text this time. Sorry oska, I just don't have it in me at the moment. The thought of going back over the litany of problems I hit is enough to depress me...

So, two sessions from my Bortle 6 backyard here in suburbia.

Equipment:
SW72ED @ 420mm / HEQ5-Pro / ASI183MC-Pro / SV165+SV305 / Kstars/Ekos

Session 1:
* Gain: 100
* Offset: 10
* Temperature: 0 degrees C
* Exposure: 30 seconds
* Frames: 170 Lights, 25 Darks, 34 each of Flats and DarkFlats (85 minutes integration in total)
* Filter: None

Session 2:
* Gain: 100
* Offset: 10
* Temperature: 0 degrees C
* Exposure: 120 seconds
* Frames: 60 Lights, 25 Darks, 50 each of Flats and DarkFlats (120 minutes integration in total)
* Filter: L-Enhance

Data then stacked with Sirilic, dragged into Siril for a quick pre-process and star removal via starnet++ before being poked, prodded and generally messed around with in Affinity Photo.

I think I've resolved the gremlins that plagued me, so let's hope the next clear night is not a night of frustration...

Cheers,
V
