Aberkenfig, South Wales
Lat 51.542 N Long 3.593 W
25 single shot images 1/250s @ ISO 200 obtained with a 254mm Skywatcher Newtonian & Nikon D780 at prime focus.
Images converted to TIFF format then stacked with AutoStakkert! 3.1.4.
Wavelets processed with Registax 6.
Final levels & curves processed with G.I.M.P. & Adobe Lightroom
Best viewed in intermediate expanded mode.
EXIF Note: Error in date & time. I did not enter the correct day or time when I reconfigured some of the settings. I always keep a manual note of my observations to cross reference the digital dates. I only had the camera for a few days around this time. Have a look at my Orion Nebula dated 2022-03-06, that was the first time I tried it out on the night sky with my 254mm Newtonian.
