Thank you for sharing your photos - this is exactly what this project is all about! :-)
My largest project to date. I'm not happy with the result, but I can't bring myself to throw it away—after all, I spent more than one night capturing it. I had to discard a lot of frames... On top of that, I had to crop the image due to stacking artifacts. I plan to re-shoot it a bit later, add Oxygen, Sulfur, and a bit more Hydrogen, and do it without cropping. For now, let this version stay as a reminder of my "baptism by fire," so to speak. A challenging object.
In which exact mode did the camera operate in StellaVita?
Why gain 100? That's the minimum, you could crank it up higher.
And what Stella offset did she set?
Higher gain will allow you to capture more, and the read noise is lower.
Recently, I experimented with another camera - the Touptek AE676C - and there, for deep sky, I liked the result with High Gain (2000) more than at 100 and 500.
My shooting isn't really a benchmark yet, though, since I was capturing during white nights, just to test the camera in action.
