Excited to try out my new Touptek 2600 colour camera. Skywatcher 200p Eq6-r mount, OAG sv305. About 6 hours of 300s subs. Stacked in DSS. Processed using GraXpert and GIMP.

That looks amazing! I've got a very similar setup except I use the ASI2600 instead of touptek, but pretty much the same. What bortle level roughly were you shooting in?

Nice shot!

It's a bit too blue though. Try bringing the temperature towards the red more.
