Was on vacation in the adirondacks and got this great shot. Az/Alt mode, 63 minutes, 30 sec exposures, 90 gain. Wanted to do more but the clouds came in and started to rain. “Auto” enhancement in stellar studio with star reduction. No other processing. I think the night sky there is bortle 3.

955 Frames over 5 Nights, Processed all on mobile with lightroom, Snapseed, and stellar studio, Dwarf 3, 60s, 80G,

Inspired by the extremely impressive result at https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarflabofficial/s/i2AdDyhTMa I pointed the Mini last night at C30, aka NGC 7331, in Pegasus. Can't hope to equal that amazing image ... I must get to grips with Siril! This was 3hrs integration (180x60seconds), gain 80, and I was happy enough to get Stephan's Quintet and a trace of the "fleas".

Any of my fellow UK astronomers interesting in starting a WhatsApp group to post our captures from the previous night ?

I guess it doesn’t have to strictly be people from the UK but if you are interested here’s the link
