NGC 2261 Hubble's Variable Nebula 2 month timelapse

[unique pine]

Decided to see if I can make my own timelapse of this target and to my surprise I actually see some pulsating over the course of just a 2 month period! Each frame (in the gif) was less than an hour integration so the data itself was not very good especially since it was all shot from my bortle 9 yard but thought it was pretty cool to see that I actually caught something. The timelapse is from February to April totaling 5 frames in the gif.

Scope: Skywatcher 150PDS (modded)
Camera: Neptune-C II
Mount: Celestron AVX (hypertuned)
Coma Corrector: Sharpstar Coma Corrector 0.95x
Filters: 2" SvBony UV/IR cut filter
Guide Cam: ZWO 120mm mini
Guide Scope: SvBony 50mm

Each individual sub was 60s long at 100 gain with 50 offset. Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker. Calibrated with darks, flats, and bias frames. Edited with PixInsight along with graxpert, blurxt, noisext, and starxt. Thanks for looking!

Edit: The compression is terrible lol, click open in browser and it looks better
