Spin that wheel!

Great work, I did a lot more hours on that subject and your images is just as good and your background is much less noisy. Great result.

like the processing and colour Dunk, it will be really interesting when you get a super night of seeing with that scope/camera combo!


cheers

Thanks Brett! Probably the sheer number of subs helped with the noise (240x 1min) but the camera is sub-2 electrons read noise also.

Thanks Russell! Never say never...as I’d collected the data over 3 nights, it was evident in processing/analysis that each night has its own characteristics. Of course there’s no substitute for cubic inches as they say, but I’m still pretty pleased with the results.

I’ve also been playing around with deconvolution but I’m not currently happy with my output. As such, this image features no such magic.

Nice colours from the refractor / camera combination Dunk!

Looks like a great shot to me Dunk

Nice work, Dunk! I like the colour. How did you do your colour calibration? Did you use the new PCC in PI?

In terms of criticism, the resolution looks a bit lacking... not sure if it's the smaller aperture of the 100, or perhaps the seeing wasn't so great. Did you do any deconvolution on the data?

Thanks Lee! Yeah PCC with a few after tweaks. Seemed to come out OK.

Certainly feel I could use a bigger scope but the seeing was what it was, I don’t get to be too choosy when I go bush, so long as it’s clear I’m thankful I’ve started experimenting with deconvolution and may post an update when I’m happy, but would certainly be a first for me.
