Essential info:
- Bortle 7 skies
- AstroTech AT102ED refractor
- 1X field flattener
- Nikon D5600 DSLR (unmodified)
- iOptron CEM26 mount
- 30s x 657 frames (5h 28m)
- Crop of 2400x1800px (from original sensor size of 6000x4000px)
A bit of a stretch for this scope, and about as good as I can get it. Combined data from about 3 hours from 2024 and another couple of hours in 2025.
Hunting for background galaxies never gets old for me. Over a 4000x3000px crop, numerous galaxies at distances of hundreds of millions of light-years ("Mly"), and a few over 1 billion light-years ("Gly").
All comments welcome, and thanks for looking!
