Lagon attempt

[xelasnave]

Well I cant give the details other than I tried to get 20 of each at 2 minutes and managed two HA at 5 minutes when I was testing the guiding limit which was fine.
Anyways although tired and not knowing what I was doing or how long this exposure may be as my goal is still around getting things working and getting more familiar with the set up knowing that this attempt leaves room for improvement.
I know the green should be bronze but I will get it fixed at some point.
but here is my second attempt at something.
This image is heavily cropped as you can tell given I used a 80mm espirt but the detail has me excited.

I took darks but could not find them:)
I presume they are there.
Question.
Do I need darks for each filter.
I figured that I would get some in lum which I did but as I said they cant be found at the moment.

AND the processing was a fiddle in photoshop and layering the various stacked frames to produce something.
I was more interested in combining frames to bring out detail at opposed to worrying about colour...
I want to see what I can do with what I have and take a rest before I start trying to learn, next startools and at some point pixinsite.

Great result Alex. Once again good detail.

You need flats for each filter but you only need one set of darks (and one set of bias calibration frames if you are using them).

If you are going to use PixInsight then there is a quick shortcut to remove green from the narrowband images (SCNR tool).

Thanks Kevin.
I need a check list.
There is more to it than I expected but so far so good.
I will be happy with a ruff go until I get everything sorted.
