- Album: Celestron C8 and Olympus E-PL5 micro four thirds camera

EXOS-2 PCM-8 mount, Celestron C8 telescope, Anteres .63 reducer, Olympus E-PL5 Micro Four Thirds camera, 45 frames/images and each was a 25 second exposure then all the frames stacked with "DeepSkyStacker", colors and details brought out with "Siril", Color and contrast balance with "Paint.net", but soon learned that GIMP works with 16 bit color and that's what we want for DSO so I started using that instead of "Paint.net" - all free PC based programs mostly written by people who love Astronomy!
