Astrobdlbug Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 This was just an experiment to see if I could get an image without the use of a LP filter from my back garden. I have LED lights and a school playing field that has floodlighting on until 10pm, but not on a Sunday evening when I took this image. The humidity was high 85-90% - as we got freezing fog early hours of next day. However I am pleased to get a reflection nebula image under such conditions - albeit with not too much detail I used APP to stack the subs - they really did not look as if there was anything useful embedded in the murk... Here is a screen shot of a single sub But 120 subs stacked with Dark, Flat BPM and Bias withn APP and then using the Light Polution Removal Tool in APP - an image appeared for me to process. First processing was done in Pixinsight, I put it through SPCC, then used BlurXT to tighten the stars only - but thank goodness for NoiseXT, then did some colour stretch with GHS before finishing in PS CC The ASI2600MC continues to deliver...

Dmack1 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Thats really interesting. its come out remarkably well. As you say, the ASI2600mc is something else. i think it really is making us question a lot of the recieved AP wisdom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Really good. No halos caused by filters to contend with too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
