I guess it is NGC 2403. It seems you forgot to complete the name of the galaxy in the title. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it would help if I increase the ISO? What I have so far was taken at ISO 800... should I increase to 1600 to get more detail?

The best way to get more detail is by taking more images. Increasing the iso does not increase noise, contrary to popular belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Holdsworth Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I generally use ISO 1600 which I've found to be the sweet spot👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Holdsworth Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I have a Nikon D5300 (stock) camera. I found there was no difference in noise by bumping up the ISO to 1600 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
