Capture

The Pinwheel Galaxy and SN 2023ixf

Over the period of 4 nights I was collecting the data for that image.
Sadly I found out that i have elongated stars - reason were vibrations of the cooler from my 294MM Pro (found out by random when I forgot to turn on cooling one night).
Therefore lost lots of Lum data - but after dealing with the camera I still got quite some integration time for all channels before having cloudy nights again and moving to the next target.
