My image of the Crescent Nebula taken with my 1300D DSLR Canon camera mounted on my 80ED APO Skywatcher refractor telescope with a field flattener. The telescope was mounted on my EQ5 GOTO mount. Settings were 50s exposure, 1600ISO. I managed to capture 20 images before clouds came in, 20 flat frames, and 10 dark frames all stacked in Squator, processed in GraXpert and StarNet++ and finished off in Gimp 2.10. 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 Loughor.
