Processing nebulas is a lot harder than galaxies. Not compleatly happy with this, but a good first draft.

I used AstroPixelProcessor to align and integrate Andromeda, finished in PixInsight, I think it looks better.

Yup, it’s the Pleiades again. I needed to test some toys…
Pentax Takumar 300mm f/4 lens - the 18-blade aperture iris is crazy, as were the star halos before I fixed them.
Skywatcher Star-Adventurer mount (haven’t used in ages).
Fuji X-H2 - pixel-shift at 60s subs is amazing.
An hour’s data plus calibrations, processed in #AstroPixelProcessor, #PixInsight and #darktable (#artwithfoss 😀).

#astrophotography The iTelescope.net premium dataset this month was for #Cederblad 211 (AKA R-Aquarii), a Mira-type red giant orbiting a white dwarf. A possible outburst 190 years ago caused this beautiful proto-[planetary #nebula] (not a protoplanetary nebula, haha) to begin forming. Image processed with #AstroPixelProcessor, #Gimp, and #Paint.net. Details in ALT text. You can see the VLT image at https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw1850a/
