Last night I set the telescope on the Beehive Cluster around 1am. This morning I woke up at 6 am and stopped SharpCap from imaging. Around 7:30 am I used Weighted Batch Processing script in PixInsight on and started combining the 622 images taken. When I compare the image below to the first one I ever took of the Beehive Cluster; ( link… ). I see how much better this one is than the first one I took in May 2023 with a Cannon and my Evolution at F10 on the stock mount.
