This is more of a little peek than it is a final image post...

I was only able to get 33x180s subs before clouds ruined my night, however I was pretty astonished with the result given only 1hr 39min of data.

My intention is to get about 10hrs on this, and then 'go from there', however, if 1.6hrs looks like this, I think I might get away with considerably less integration time than I first imagined.

Potentially, my best galaxy image ever, already...

Equipment:
Askar 120 APO + 1x Field flattener
Player One Artemis-C Pro (IMX294)
Player One Filter Drawer
Player One OAG + Sedna M (IMX178)
Player One UV/IR Cut
Emcan Astro EM31 Pro harmonic mount.

No Astrobin link yet as this is just a glimpse at what I'm working on.

This image is at 50% scale, with and about 30% cropped off the original frame...
