I captured an image of M24, the Sagittarius Star Cloud, using my Rokinon 135mm prime lens attached to a Canon 1300D DSLR camera, which was mounted on a Star Adventurer 2i pro tracking mount. A total of 40 images were taken with settings of 45s at ISO 400, along with 45 flat frames and 25 dark frames. These were all stacked in Sequator and processed in Siril and Gimp 2.10. I used an intervalometer for camera control and a Bahtinov mask for focusing on a bright star. The image was taken at Fall Bay Gower under Bortle 3 skies.
