The Crescent nebula

My image off the Crescent Nebula taken with my 1300D DSLR Canon camera mounted on my 80mm ED APO Skywatcher refractor telescope with a field flattener and a 2 Inch Optolong LeNhance filter. The telescope was mounted on my EQ5 GOTO Mount. Settings were 50s exposure and 1600ISO. I captured 210 images, 25 flat frames and 25 dark frames. All stacked in Sequator, 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.
