Date: Imaged 27 August 2019 (10:39 pm) br/Location: Halifax, NS br/Equipment: Orion 80mm f6 ED-triplet refractor/ ZWO ASI183MC CMOS camera with UV/IR cut and LP filters; prime focus, unguided; gain 70, 60 sec exposure/EQ6-R mount. br/Processing: 50 subs, 30 darks, and 30 flats were captured as RAW16/FITS images. All images were debayered with PIPP. Debayered images were saved as TIF images, which were then stacked using DeepSkyStacker without any other adjustments to the stacked image. Photoshop CS2 was used to adjust levels, curves (stretching data), and color balance/saturation. StarTools was used for noise reduction, gradient removal, and to repair slightly elongated stars. Microsoft Photo was used to tweak clarity, contrast, highlights, shadows, and exposure of the final jpg image. br/Comments: Messier 2, located in the constellation Aquarius, is a large compact globular cluster with a noticeable elliptical shape.
