The Heart of Cassiopeia - a photo on Flickriver

The Heart of Cassiopeia

Happy Valentine's Day! I thought today would be appropriate to release this image. I initially took it on Aug 28, 2022 and I had a draft version back in Dec but didn't finish processing it until a few days ago.

I often make astronomy videos on YouTube if anyone's interested: youtube.com/Naztronomy -

See this on Astrobin: www.astrobin.com/pkhjd1/

Equipment used:
* Astro-Tech AT60ED with the 0.8x Reducer/Flattener on Advanced VX Mount
* Mount controlled via Astroberry
* ZWO ASI533MC Pro
* Svbony 60mm guide scope with ZWO ASI120MM-Mini guide cam
* 60x300Sec with L-eXtreme
* 15 Darks
* 35 flats for each session
* 35 bias
* All frames were with Gain 101, Offset 70, at -5°C.
* Stacked in AstroPixelProcess and did some auto stretches on it, light pollution removal, and some HSL
* Post-Processed in Photoshop: Camera Raw adjustments, curves, and Topaz DeNoise for noise reduction.
