Calibrated and stacked in siril. Processed in Pixinsight including BlurXterminator
How can I improve from here without a lot of money? I saw some cheaper barn door polar trackers around $100-200. It is quite a pain to get everything aligned properly, and I feel like it takes me ages to find the right focus and iso. Thanks ✌️

Snow/clouds/rain going on week 3 with no 10 day clear skies in sight. So here is my different palettes of the Wizard Nebula. Which one do you like?

My version on the Orion Nebula. Could be better but I’m happy since this is just my second successful attempt at a DSO.

Hi, sorry if this type of post is not allowed here. I’m searching for an awesome and giant mosaic of the entire milky way, not just its core. It would have been produced in the 2010-2012 time frame.
Does anyone else remember this?
