TUC 47: Short exposure astrophotography.

This is my second attempt at this target for this season.

I have tried something new here. Taking a bunch of different length exposures and combining them in DSS.
It worked out surprisingly well, at least I think so.

The image is composed of the following:

90 exposures ranging in duration from 5 to 20 seconds along with 60 dark exposures.
These were then stacked in DSS and processed in Star tools.
Skywatcher 102 alt/az goto.
Canon 1200D.(no mods).
ISO 800

This is where it was in the sky at the time of shooting.



And here is TUC 47.

Thanks for reading and clear skies!
