Galactic Hunter takes you on mysterious adventures to other worlds. Whether we are visiting planets, galaxies, nebulae, comets, or star clusters, the goal of Galactic Hunter is to teach you astronomy through one of the most rewarding hobbies: Astrophotography. Join my wife and I in our galactic adventures, and question everything you know about what lays outside of our little world.

very nice photo. One suggestion for picking a target and optimum exposure. I suggest looking into skytools 4 imaging. When you enter your gear the software can suggest you targets and exposures for each filter along with the best time for the exposures. the only drawback is that it doesn't have integration for some imaging software like SGPro. I used it when i wanted to image the dumbell nebula and i am happy with the results. (i have no affiliation with the developer, i just suggested an interesting program that might help you)

Great results you two, very faint object for sure, your end result is very natural looking. :)

Looks very nice. Good work. Do you guys own a dobsonian? I'm looking to buy one, wondering how big of a difference 8" aperture would be over a 6"
