This image of M5 was captured by Mike Lancaster on the 22nd July 2021. It is comprised of a stack 4x2 minute and 1x3 minute exposures taken with a Mallincam Universe camera attached to a 10-inch Meade ACF SCT on an EQ-8 mount. A 0.5x Mallincam focal reducer was also used. The camera was set to a gain of 16dB, a gamma of -20, a contrast of 0, noise reduction on, and full resolution. No guiding, flats or dark frames were used. Stacking and processing was done in Nebulosity 3.3 and Photoshop Elements 2020. Image Credit: Mike Lancaster. |
