Messier 39 (NGC 7092) from my new „Jade“ observatory
My first project with my new observatory was taken with old equipment on the „Planetary Pier“, because my „Deep Sky Pier“ is not yet ready for use. Target was the globular cluster Messier 39 in the constellation Cygnus.
Data calibration and registration was done with Fitswork and the final processing was done with PixInsight. The result was as follows:
