This was my first time using a star tracker to try and compose a wide field image, there’s some stitching errors and some issues with trailing from trying to merge the foreground and sky photos but I’m honestly not overly bothered by that as I was more or less learning the tracker and setup and focusing on Halpha detail around the core (which I’m pretty happy with)
This image is made up of 10 photos 2×90” exposures at iso 800 and f2.2 for the foreground and 8×90” exposures at f2.2 and iso 200 for the sky on a Sony a6300 and Viltrox 15mm f1.7

Absolutely gorgeous. Good work. I wish to take photos like this some day.
How has light pollution affected your captures. I see you got a good ways away. I can only hope to something like that again
Luminous! It’s humbling to think of the vastness emptiness of space, but your photo makes it look alive.
It’s beautiful! The time that you spent on this seems to have been worth it! 😃👍
Just gorgeous photography with your telescope.
