NGC7331 & Friends
After I inherited the telescope a few years ago from my grandpa and barely touched it, I finally upgraded the whole thing and started this hobby in July 2025 with a deep dive into it. This is my very first final image.
Target: Deer Lick Group (NGC 7331 with type Ia supernova SN 2025rbs, NGC 7335, NGC 7336, NGC 7337, NGC 7340)
Scope: C8 (1988)
Mount: AVX
Focal Reducer / Corrector: Celestron Reducer Corrector f/6.3
Focuser: Baader Steeltrack
Camera: EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 4K Planetary & Deep Sky Astro Camera & Guider 8,3 MP
Exposure: \~37.7h (223x 360s, 384x 120s, 669x 60s) in August 2025
Target distance: \~44 million light years up to \~400 million light years
Edit (PixInsight): WBPP for stacking. Crop, Automatic DBE, Background Neutralization, BlurXTerminator (Correct Only), Image Solver, SPCC, BlurXTerminator, NoiseXTerminator, StarXTerminator. Target -> Statistical Stretch, HDRMultiscaleTransform, CurvesTransformation. Stars -> Star Stretch. PixelMath.
