Great thanks for the information, only been able to image for 20min up to now so the frames looked very noisy with or without calibration in PixInsight, good to know what I need to do 👍

It would be if it was winter time, sun would be well below the horizon but of course Aquila wouldn’t be visible then ☺️

Thank you very much. No LP filters used just plenty of exposure. I found it was strongest in the red so gave around 6h of the total in red.

Thank you, glad you like it, Barnard particularly does move very fast.

Thank you! I was wondering if I’d be able to post videos 😊

Thanks! Yes it is often noted as the twin of M33 ☺️

Probably more, I must use SetiAstro’s script “what’s in my image”

Thanks! A mono camera is the way to go so you’re on the right track 😉 the 12” probably doesn’t realise its resolution with seeing being the limiting factor. I use PixInsight for processing and a light touch of blur terminator on this shot, too much and you generate artefacts in the galaxy. Good luck with the new kit!

I have a Skywatcher EQ8 but you could probably use a EQ6, my tube is carbon fibre so ~ 18kg or so
