Emission nebula IC 1848, Cassiopeia
14 x 7-min ISO 1600 autoguided exposures; astro-modified Canon 600D and Sky-Watcher ED 80mm f/6.25 telescope.
Frames stacked in Deep Sky Stacker software. Result post-processed to increase contrast, reduce noise and remove background colour gradients caused by stray light.
Feb 2024 update: Starnet++ software used to temporarily separate the stars and nebulae and prevent the stars bloating when nebula contrast is stretched.
