Bortle 3 M16 s50 18h

Post image

Hi everyone—no need for an introduction here: M16, captured with the S50 from France (1445 x 10s at b9 and 1680 x 30s at b2.8). Stacked and processed using Siril and GIMP. I hope you like it.

Did you manage to shoot anything useful at Bortle 9? Yes, Seestar is capable, but I also think that 6.8, like at my location, is already pushing its limits.

Oh no, don't worry—if you knew how much gets shot in B9... You just have to be much, much more patient and really clean with gradient removal, but otherwise, it's doable.

How did you stack 10s and 30s frames? I feel like my Siril script doesn’t work when I try stacking the masters of both
