The first of two objects of the night. In fact, the first attempt at a run using new equipment. StellaVita and SkyEye24AC.
Made optimal use of two nights. Quickly refreshed the collimation of the Cassegrain and completed the imaging session without any notable problems.

My reprocessed version of the Dumbbell Nebula – Messier 27, data from 09/2022, using my revamped PixInsight Process.
My finished astrophoto of the 2.025 LJ away Owl Nebula M97 in the constellation Ursa Major. Collected some more light and new workflow (2024).
Messier 97 – the first half, about 2 hours, of collected light with my VISAC at 1800mm.
