How it was shot

Everything here was shot with a DWARF Mini smart telescope from a balcony in a city in Ukraine: light-polluted sky, only the eastern half of it visible, and a roof overhang that cuts off the south. 3 nights (all in October), 3 sessions, 444 frames with exposures of 30 and 60 s, without a filter, in broadband. The stack holds 5 h 40 min of light; the longest night, 11 October, gave 2 h 2 min. The goal for this object is 5 h, and it is reached. First night 10 October 2026, last one 12 October 2026.
