62-10 second subs in bortle 7 with the moon @ 80.7 %
Experimenting with this lens to see what it could do when paired with my 533. I was imaging between clouds and finally gave up but ended up with 62 usable frames. I had to crop heavily due to misshapen stars at the corners. I must say, I was surprised with the final result. This will be a great rig for quick sessions.
Siril - Graxpert - Topaz - Affinity Photo in this order

That looks amazing, well done. Especially for Bortle 7. As someone who is still starting out in astrophotography, may I ask why you went through so many different processing softwares? What does each one do?

I just don’t want to spend the money for Pixinsight. I use Siril for stacking and star removal, Graxpert to remove gradients, Topaz to sharpen and denoise and Affinity for touch up and color boost if needed. There are others I use at times like Deep Sky Stacker and ZWO ASIStudio. I bought Affinity Photo on sale for $35 and it’s a lifetime license. I already had Topaz for my wife’s photography and the others are free.
