It took 5 months to get here but I finally got my Dwarf 3 telescope and had a chance to take some images. Now the images right from the telescope don’t look this good but you can download the .fits files and process them yourself. So I figured I try to learn how to do that. I used this tutorial as a starting point (I skipped re-stacking the images myself) and got some nice results. These are taken from my backyard in light-polluted Dallas, TX.

I have to say, PixInsight seems extremely powerful but the UI can be confounding. I would not have figured it out without the tutorial. In the end, it turned out to be not terribly complicated. I made these notes for next time.
