Description

A classic object but a first for me!

It was also my first time imaging away from home: the new moon and a clear sky convinced me to drive 40 min from a Bortle 6 Paris-area suburban sky to a much darker Bortle 4 countryside sky.
I was impressed by the signal improvement thanks to the upgrade from 19-ish to 21-ish SQM: only 2 hours of integration time in Bortle 4 are equal to 12 hours in Bortle 6. Good thing because I was freezing after 2 hours...

Acquisition details:
L: 18x180s 
R: 8x180s
G: 8x180s
B: 8x180s

I would be grateful if you could give me some advice or make constructive critiques with a view to keep improving.


Clear skies!
