My wide field image of the Garnet star taken with my Rokinon 1300 prime lens at f/2.8 mounted on my 1300D DSLR Canon camera attached to my Star Adventure 2i pro tracking mount.The settings were ISO 800 and 50s exposures. 80 images, 50 flat frames and 30 dark frames were all stacked in DSS and processed in Sirl and Gimp 2.10. Also used Star Net ++ to remove the stars and to put them back in with less emphasis to reveal the nebula better. I used an intervalometer to control the camera and a Bahtinov mask to focus on a bright star. The image was taken under Bortle 5 skies in my back garden in Loughor.
