Beautiful, was it taken with dithering? And how did you stack it? Maybe it can be made a bit sharper at 662?

Thank you! I shot without dithering. Stacked in Siril using a script with HaOIII extraction. I tried making it sharper, but that already introduces a lot of noise.

Of course, the telescope from a setup like mine—an Askar on a reducer with a 533 camera—is quite fierce. You just have a wider field of view, but otherwise, it's almost identical.

This setup is definitely not by choice, haha. My 550D seems to have given up, but I still want to shoot something.
