Description

This is the first light of my new 10" F4 newtonian and EQ6R pro that i installed in southern italy under bortle 4 skies. I am particularly proud of this image because i didn't have any collimation device (had forgot to put in the bag my laser collimator) so i eyeballed it, and i didn't have any flat panel so had to take flats the usual crappy way with the tshirt, which resulted in the flats leaving an annoying yellowish gradient on the left, that i tried to fix in post to the best of my abilities. I was surprised to see IFN popping out with only 11hr of exposure and an OSC camera, from where i usually image (bortle5) IFN doesnt come out even with 20+hrs of exposure and 10min subs with a mono camera. I guess darker skies really make that much of a difference.
