200 Hours on the Triangulum Galaxy
This is the longest integration I have done on a single image. I did 100 hours last year, however that was with my Redcat 51, which I did not feel did 100 hours justice. Now with a C11 and an extra narrowband filter, I put myself up to the challenge of combining LRGB data with SHO, which I hadn't practiced beforehand. Instead of lowering the amount of hours needed, I doubled it. 50 hours per filter and 50 for LRGB in total. With the sheer magnification of the C11, dots of Oxygen turned into resolved supernova remnants. What I once thought were stars turned out to be clusters of stars, home to some nebulae. Deep into the galaxy, just out of reach are thousands of partially resolved stars. The brightest giants can be easily resolved. I'm proud to finally be done.

These are the "final" images from my steps of process my "Jupiter and Callisto" image. Very happy with how it turned out. To note, the only thing I changed about the live video was the green cast due to the RGGB pixel matrix inside the camera. I made ...
Processing the Dumbell Nebula in Photoshop and Pixinsight

Good evening! This is a longish video on my processing of Messier 27, the Dumbell Nebula. I used Photoshop with zero plugins and my normal Pixinsight processing skills to see how far I'm able to take old skills in new data.

The galaxy is known as SDSS J095335.94 694746.8, and can be found on simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=SDSS J095335.94+694746.8 Star clusters are all found on the Simbad database as well, takes a little bit of finding but they're there. Astrophotography is an amazing hobby!
