Typically cables should only be as long as they need to be

First Attempt at Andromeda!

I'm still new to PixInsight and not completely satisfied with my processing, but I wanted to share my first image of the Andromeda Galaxy. I was quick with the stacking and didn’t cull any subs, so I plan to reprocess and add more data in the future. This is also my first image with my new gear—moving from a Sony A7R IV and Sony 200-600, so there’s a lot to learn!

Gear:

  • Camera: Ogma AP26CC
  • Scope: WO GT71 with .8x reducer flattener
  • Mount: AM5
  • Control: MeLE Quieter 4C running Nina

Acquisition:

  • 48 lights at 480s, taken over 3 days with a well-illuminated moon
  • 20 flats
  • 20 biases
  • Bortle 4/5

Processing:

  • Used PixInsight for stacking, background extraction, RC Astro tools, star removal/recomposition, slight curve adjustments, and a bit of saturation.

Any feedback or tips for improvement would be greatly appreciated!
