From January this year, finally did something with the data...

Slight risk I overdid the star shrink but seems relatively OK otherwise.

Only Luminance was shot at the time.

That's a cool looking galaxy Roger.

I honestly don't know how anyone gets sky time to shoot LRGB.

A lot of detail in both those galaxies Roger, looks really good, just need some colour added now.

P.S. Did you get the noise issue fixed on your ST10?

[rogerg]

yes, it's hard to find the time and spend the time doing LRGB. The processing time as much as anything for me. LRGB from my setup seems to require lots of post-processing to try and balance.

Thanks :)



It's very rare that adding RGB to one of my L images makesit look better :lol: so we'll see :) Normally just hides the nice galaxy detail visible in the L.

The "rain noise" seems to have been solved by a new power supply for the camera. But there's other horizontal and vertical banding and noise that's not normal. It's likely we're going to send two back to SBIG for investigation/repair, that and one where the cooler has partly failed. :(

Nice work Roger. There's lots of sharp detail there and a pleasing composition.
