Capella α (Alpha) Aurigae 2019-11-09

Aberkenfig, South Wales

Lat +51.542 Long -3.593

 

Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian Reflector, Olympus E410 at prime focus. EQ6 Syntrek Mount.

 

20 light frames of 25s at 800 ISO. Also 10 dark frames.

 

Processed with Deep Sky Stacker and final levels adjusted with G.I.M.P. The diffraction spikes were not added post processing.

 

The image displays coma towards the edges. This is is one drawback of a parabolic f/4.8 Newtonian.
