First mono

OK, be a bit kind here. This is my first mono image from the 1600mm-c so is a triumph over clouds, inexperience, LP and very limited sky time.
It's only 14 mins of RGB frames @200 gain on Sunday night, first break we've had in months. I'm just happy I got all to work and manage a final image.
Needs lots more photons but I've learned a heap so far.

Brent, good first attempt. Why Gain 200? What was your sub length?

120 seconds Glen. There is only about 7 frames, 2 or 3 of each in there taken as approaching clouds closed the hole in the sky. I was more interested in getting something to process in RGB so I could progress my processing knowledge more and getting used to a whole new imaging process. Still made a few mistakes in settings.
I had an earlier attempt with 30 sec x 10 frames but s/n ratio was insufficient. Taken from the chart for an F7 scope @ gain 139.
It's all experimental at present and I'm in an orange zone I've figured out.

it's a nice photo Brent, and especially given your list of challenges :-)

Is there pink in the centre? I'm seeing pink and a steel blue and wasn't expecting it in a mono image. I don't dislike it, and was just surprised.

Nicely done.

Although 14 minutes will only get you so far, the detail looks quite good As for colour, it largely is just grey scale with some pink in the centre. Your data might be worth playing with but you might need to hit the processing again At any rate, just keep at it!
