I took the picture on my Canon 60D camera its kit lens (18-135mm, f3.5-5.6)
It was attached to a SkyWatcher Staradventurer 2i
In total I took 139 lights with an exposure time of 30s at ISO 300 and around 30 bias, flats, and dark flats each
All images were stacked in DeepSkyStacker and then edited in Photoshop
I adjusted the levels so that the nebula became visible, after which I adjusted the color a bit.
I then removed the stars using StarNetv2 to be able to edit the stars and the nebula seperately.
I cut out the nebula so I could darken the surrounding sky again, since at that point it had become quite bright and then added the stars back in
PS: I hope this is enough about the process. If I should edit/add anything let me know!
