16 hour integration of the Heart Nebula with the Dwarf 3 telescope

The Heart Nebula can be a challenging object due to its low surface brightness, especially in my neighborhood where I image under Bortle 8/9 skies. The total integration time for this image is 16 hours with 60-second subs captured in EQ mode with the duoband filter on the D3. I used Siril to stack and calibrate the images and to remove the light gradients. I then denoised in Graxpert and sharpened in Cosmic Clarity. The final result was tweaked in Affinity 2. Click the image to see it enlarged, which reveals lots of detail in the nebulosity.
