This is my first guided image. It was taken through a Vixen FL102S refracting telescope “4 inches/102mm diameter) with a Canon 40D DSLR camera at prime focus. The guiding was using a Skywatcher ST80 telescope, mounted side by side with the Vixen, and a DMK21 camera using the PHD guiding software.
Each sub exposure was for 5 minutes with a total exposure time of 90 minutes. The subs together with dark frames, bias frames and flats were combined in Deep Sky Stacker and the resulting file processed in Photoshop CS2.
