Captured with a QHY5LII-M + IR Cut Filter on a SkyWatcher 127 MAK. Conditions were Bortle 6 with intermittent 50% high cloud (from Clear Outside app). 70% waxing moon. Full resolution image here https://www.astrobin.com/full/405830/C/?nc=user. The final stitched image is 1912x3652.
Each panel was 500 frames @ 14fps, 1280x960. For each panel, best 25% of 500 stacked in Autostakkert 3 with output saved as a sharpened TIFF. Stitched using Microsoft's Image Composite Editor - takes around 15s to complete. Final processing for contrast, brightness done in GIMP 2.10.
