My NGC 300 - completely reprocessed by Diego Colonnello

Like the title says - Diego has very kindly offered to have a go at properly reprocessing my 30+ hrs of data.

LRGB gathered on NGC 300 over 5+ nights from Nhill, Snake Valley, Kilmore & Bin 2x2 Ha from home in suburban Melbourne.

Diego used Astropixel Processor - an app I'm impressed by that pre-processes, stacks, removes LP and balances colour - requiring only a few final touches in PS afterwards - and it's both mac & PC friendly

I reckon he's done a far better job than I could - so all credit is due to his considerable processing skills

The result is HERE

Seems that my collimation is mostly ok, but I'll need to get auto-focussing between filters etc running, as the image is looking a tad soft.

Has anyone used Astroimager software for this on a mac? Looks promising for focus, capture, guiding & planetarium too

Anyway, enjoy the image - there's lots of feint, (slightly fuzzy) fuzzies in the field as well.

Thanks Diego
