35 lousy minutes

[LewisM]

Set my system up to run by itself all night the other night, and gathered only 35 mins of B33 before El Sol decided to spoil the party :)

This is as far as I dare take the miniscule data I have on it so far - it was more an experiment on PI routines and PS tweaking rather than some masterpiece, which it CLEARLY is not!

Usual jpeg quality disclaimer. May upload a good size png to Astrobin later.

The stars look quite big, a focus issue perhaps...? Maybe it's just the way you've stretched the data :shrug:

YEah, I didn't bother star masking it, hence them stretching with the rest of the data. Like I said, more an experiment on processing the noise out than picture perfection. Whatcha do with 35 mins of data? :)

Hi Lewis,
35mins produced quite a lot of data, but somehow the blue colour is weak in your colour palette..:question:

My CCD has been progressively deteriorating in sensitivity and detail for a while now, so I sent it off to SX to have a look at just this morning. It wouldn't even cool properly last night, unfortunately.

I noted a VERY weak blue registration in images for a while. I had to fake-boost the blue in my Helix image recently posted.

Hopefully, Terry can nut it out.
