M20-2013 with 60Da

20 subs (CPC 925 and 60Da, 90sec@ISO3200, guided) taken on the 1st July 2013 in Perth, Western Australia, in almost "perfect" winter conditions: extremely good visibility caused by low humidity and <1km/h dry north-easterly wind ...

The size is almost as it comes from the combination CPC925 <-> 60Da, cropped only about 2mm at the bottom.
Processed in PixInsight.

… light pollution …

My location is between the CBD and the Indian Ocean, so the south-westerly exposure is not bad, but any other direction is heavily polluted. Astrozap dew shield helps a lot, and the best day is Sunday & no footy at Subiaco, then the light pollution is manageable ..

The extra H-alpha response is quite noticeable with the 60Da. Nicely processed image, and the tracking is superb for such a long focal length.
Congrats!
Cheers,
Andrew.
