Lyra

31 upvotes 7 comments
Taken with a Canon EOS 550D with an 80mm lens on an equatorial tracking mount, under Bortle 4 skies. 30 thirty second lights, 50 darks, 50 flats.

Stacked in Siril following the manual pre-processing tutorial. Stretched also in Siril using Asinh Transformation. I set the stretch factor to 30, and the black point to 0.005, then exported the image as a jpeg.

I think she looks a bit better than my attempt at Orion. You can *sort of* make out the Ring nebula.

Also, I'm pretty sure that's a comet over to the right of Sulafat. Tiny green cloud of consistent size, [drifted a few arcminutes over the ~20 minutes I was capturing these images](https://i.ibb.co/JWbR150Y/Green-cloud.png)
