Popular Post David Posted May 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2021 This is the current project. A first light from my observatory build and an area of the sky that has loads going on in it. The plate solved version can be seen here on Astrobin. I might have pushed it a bit hard but I fiddled around with some noise reduction and it seems ok. I also noticed the star registration isn't quite right with some blue fringes on the stars so after I do luminance I will give that a tweak. My biggest challenge is that the CCD is preloved, like most of my gear, and quite old with plenty of sensor defects but cosmetic correction and dithering a lot works well to clear those issues up Details Just shy of 5 hours of RGB data in 5 minute subs. I will go back for some Luminance at the next opportunity.

Marmot Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I don’t do AP, but then I don’t feel the need as I can sit back and enjoy all the wonderful pictures that you talented people provide. That is a great pic. Thanks for posting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carastro Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Beautiful image, or one of my favourite targets and one I have been struggling to get a decent image of even after 2 trips with travel imaging kit. Where are you located it is so low in the UK? Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
