The photo has been processed with IRIS (registration, stacking, gradient removal, cleanup) and than passed on Lightroom CC for the final editing.

I used Astrometrica for data reduction than I generated a source list with corrected apparent magnitude (magnitude zero point +24.62) using Aperture Photometry Tool.

Below is a list of objects I found interesting to analyze, the information I wrote are from the CDS Portal website using Simbad and Ned database.

For comparison, for every object I put the image from CDS Portal and the image captured with ASTRA telescope.
