This image replaces an earlier capture of the same object.
Astro-modded EOS 600D,12” Newtonian reflector ‘scope 54 x 4-minute ISO 1600 f/4 auto-guided exposures, taken over 2 nights.
Frames stacked in Deep Sky Stacker software.
Result post-processed to increase contrast, reduce noise, adjust overall colour balance and reduce colour gradients caused by light pollution.
Also used Starnet++ to temporarily remove the stars during processing (as otherwise they dominate after stretching the contrast).
