Celestron Origin Mark II - first attempt at a dual stack with the clear filter (60 mins) and the nebula filter (20 mins) and overlay the images. Not perfect but fun to try.

Also listed/known as the pinwheel galaxy but that name is more popularly used with M101. Celestron Origin Mark II with about 45 minutes exposure. The telescope itself has plenty of automated processes to improve the image but otherwise no significant post edits. Once you get the pre set and live image capture settings correct this thing is just a machine for pulling in amazing images.
I’ll likely redo these as I get used to the equipment, but a few more images using the origin mark II from at around a bortle 5. Didn’t do any additional post processing outside of the in app available settings to even out gradient and noise. Think most averaged around 20 minutes exposure.
Celestron Origin Mark II with nebula filter. 80 minute exposure 10 second stacks. Auto processing by telescope upon final imaging and manual post image saturation due to trouble getting color from
Hydrogen. Idk how to not get removed after r/astronomy but here’s a picture. Thanks
