Description

This was one of my first attempts at a DSO from my backyard using a goto mount and a dedicated camera under an almost full Moon.
I'm pretty new to the hobby and am happy with the first results, even while not being entirely sure of what I'm doing, especially when processing the stacked images.

Lights: 15 x 300 s + 16 x 20 s
Darks: 20
Flats: 30
Dark Flats: 30

From my backyard at Itaipava, Petrópolis - RJ – Brazil (Bortle 4)
