480 x 15 second subs for a total of 2 hours

This is my first real attempt using calibration frames. Biases and darks seemed to work fine, and my flats made an effect on the unfortunate shadow of the secondary mirror but it seems I could have done better.

GAIN: 475

Bortle 5

Equipment & Software:

Telescope: Celestron Nextstar 130SLT

Mount: Skywatcher EQ6-R Pro

Camera: SVBony SV305

Acquired using Sharpcap, stacked in DeepSkyStacker and post-processed in Siril and GIMP.
