Mike, BS? what BS?
Suggest you re-read the last line of my post.... the stratosphere bit..... I think I made it plain that I thought Jase’s image processing was on the money. I would have done it in RGB and not binned for reasons I stated...and Jase made his choices, with a great end result.
As to whether image de-convolution is a valid post processing technique......I suggest you take that up with the high-res planetary imaging specialists on ISS.
The only thing I am jealous of is not being able to be at home often enough to use the gear I do have. ( I can see Jase champing at the bit here...urging me to pull my finger out and finally set-up my system for remote access
)
Though I didn’t comment earlier, I have no problem with amateur astronomers using large aperture remote telescopes to acquire first class data. Some very remarkable imagery will no doubt continue to appear here and elsewhere using this technology.
I prefer a more hands on approach, and enjoy the challenge of personally getting the equipment choices I have made to perform at their optimum to produce good data in less than ideal skies.
