Really dense region on dark nebulae.
Imagen taken with a “simple” equipement, an inexpensive mount, a camera lens and ASI1600 camera.
The key point to that picture is this high f.3 used and a really dark site location.
And of course, also fine processing is needed to show all that beauty
I will continue with this setup for a while, I am thinking of changing the mount to a new one with harmonic drives…. will see.
