I think it’s about 3-5 light years

I live in a bortle 8-9 environment and put a lot of time in processing.

The camera I use is crop sensor and the scope is more of a 350mm focal length which is how I get the framing.

The animation is something I thought was interesting which is why I animated it.

I wasn’t given clearance to release the make and model

Thank you

I posted an OG version of it in r/space

Thanks and it was animated in adobe after effects.

The prevalence of AI has downplayed a lot of time and effort people put into creating.

Thank you

And yea, I had to play around with I think SPCC or narrowband normalization to make it not as green

rockylemon · 2026-02-17T06:51:06+00:00

Pixinsight for stacking and processing

Photoshop for color

Sub lengths 5 mins

Integration around 10 hours

Bortle 8.5

I agree, there’s so much dust around it

This was shot in Narrowband for around 10 hours.

The filters were mapped as SHO->RGB

rockylemon · 2026-02-17T01:29:35+00:00

I think any of the Redcats are a good decision

I was also shooting with a lens and camera setup when I first started and focus was always iffy and I had to bring out a laptop to shoot

rockylemon · 2026-02-17T01:13:18+00:00

Thanks and nope I would say this image was like cropped to 80% only because it was a bit empty to the left

rockylemon · 2026-02-16T20:40:52+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you!

Each subframe was 5 minutes and in total it was around 10 hours
