M37 open cluster in Auriga. Stack of 35 x 20s exposures
The Seagull nebula was imaged on two nights. Firstly with 9 x 5min unguided exposures and on the second night with 8 x 10min guided exposures, all with matching dark frames. The images were all saved as FITS images and were stacked in Affinity Photo using flat fields. The two resulting images were stitched together in Affinity Photo and post processed in Affinity Photo, the Gimp 2.10, and Neat Image.
