Captured this image last night from bortle 8 skies - I used my regular rig, my nexstar 8SE with ASI533MC pro cam, skywatcher eq6-r pro moount, guided by my ZWO 30mm guide scope and 120mm mini cam. Everything runs into NINA where I ran a sequence of 180 second subs - captured 4.5 hours worth of subs for this image. This morning I grabbed some near-perfect sky flats, dark flats, and dark calibration frames, stacked it in SIRIL, and edited to what you see now in pixinsight. I no longer use photoshop as part of my workflow because the images look so good coming out of pixinsight I have nothing else to modify - I'm sure I am missing something!
