A motor-focuser-adapted Bresser Messier AR 102xs f/4.5 ED refractor was mounted on a Celestron AVX GOTO mount and a QHY 5-ll-M camera was placed at the prime focus. Two 1500-frame SER files were captured with AstroDMx Capture for Linux with an Ubuntu laptop. The best 90% of the frames of the two SER files were stacked in Autostakkert!, Stitched in Hugin Panorama creator  and wavelet processed in Registax 5.1. The final image was post processed in the Gimp 2.10.
