This wide field image of the Garnet star region was taken with a 1300D DSLR Canon camera with a Rokinon 135mm prime lens. The camera was mounted on a Skywatcher EQ5 GOTO mount. Settings were 180 images, 30s exposures at ISO 800, 30 darks, 30 flat frames, and 40 flat-dark frames. They were all stacked in ASTAP and further processed in GraXpert, and StarNet ++, and finished off in Gimp 2.10. I used a 10s timer on the camera between captures and a Bahtinov mask to focus on a bright star.
