Dusty spider

[traveller (Bo)]

I accidentally processed the Tanrantula in BGGR debayering pattern (instead of RGGB) and I liked the colour, so here it is.
45 x 180 sec exposures (38 used), using QHY8 and my FLT 110.
My mount was playing up a bit so the guiding error was high in some parts, still trying to fine tune that.
Hope you like the colour as I did.

Other than a few red and blue hot pixels in there that is quite a cool picture. Good detail and colours don't seem out of place.

Thanks Brent,
I will add more dark frames later to reduce the hot pixels. I was trying out my mount, it was playing up and had a tune up, but still a bit tight on the RA axis, so I need to get that looked into.
Cheers
Bo

Looks good. I'm glad you posted this as I have been trying the same target and yours gives me a good idea of what should and shouldn't be there.

Thanks Mick,
It's a fairly bright target, so should be easy to find. Make sure you post a pic of yours once it's done.
