Iexos 100 mount, AT60 ED scope, Antlia Triband, Saturn Playerone (uncooled)

30 second subs, about 18 hours, Bortle 8/9

Processed with GraXpert, Siril, Seti Astro Suite, Darkroom, and Affinity.

 

I don't normally post here, but I figure I'd put this here instead of the Beginner's sub.  That sub is more related to asking questions, than posting pics.

 

I thought I was done with this a couple months ago, but there is about an hour window after sundown now, where it's just about the only thing I can shoot while I wait for targets to come up or clear trees. So, I figure shoot something, so I'm still shooting this.

 

For 18 hours, there is a lot of Ha in the background, but I get this weird mottled pattern in it and it's hard for me to tell what is actual Ha and what is noise or artifacts.  So, I didn't stretch Ha that much yet.  I'll add more and then see if I can stretch it more.

Nice capture! Especially under these circumstances in Bortle 8/9 with an uncooled camera! Well done!

Outstanding image for such a hard target.  Something in your processing is flipping the image horizontally, I don't see anything in your imaging train that would do that.

Thanks!  Yeah, that's me.  Seti Astro flips the pic around, so when I flipped it back, I flipped into the wrong orientation.

 

nice!

Thank you!

Here's the latest version which is about another hour of integration time added to the pic in the OP.
