DustinLeeAstro Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) This image was first light in January for the Altair 26C I bought in December. I was blown away at the stack just out of calibration and integration using only flats to calibrate. I was through 2 or 3 rounds of processing when my laptop HD failed costing me everything I had captured with a dedicated camera up to that point. Lesson learned and I have multiple backups now lol. I recently started playing around with non-linear star reduction and wanted to share this "final" version of own of my favorite images taken so far.
