I was inspired by Andy01 image in Deep Sky section...Meet the Neighbours so I thought I would check the area out...was not serious just wanted to see if I could get the objects to show...so set gain to 450
one minute subs, and that seemed to work so I captured about 3 hours but dropped to 250 gain after the first one hundred...using the 115 mm on heq5 with zwo mono cooled camera to 15 below.So I thought to get more data tonight but it rained so I stacked three groups of HA and called that Luminance and stacked the three groups seperately and put them in the LRGB in Startools and played with the result in Photoshop and Gimp...If the sky clears while I am still here I will get some real RGB or S and O and see how it goes...maybe reshoot Ha at a lower gain as the noise was rather fierce..anyways it felt good after a hard week building to have a little go.
