Foul foal

[LewisM]

Here is last night's work in progress (1hr 10 OSC, Tak FSQ-85ED).

Just showing...I know it's got more noise than an ACDC concert and hot and cold pixels like noone's business, but I am hoping more time will mitigate this. THis is just the mean stack compile straight out of CCDStack with a minimal DDP, rotated then size reduced in PS6 - NOTHING else done.

Let's call it a foal, because it's got a LOT of growing to do.;)

I think I have confirmed at least that the 2" Baader LP filter IS giving me internal reflections GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (similar results with a TSA-102)

Good start Lewis!

Thanks Kev.

Where B33 sits for me - well, all of Orion - is right over the High Intensity Approach Lighting for RWY 17 YCBR as well as the run in lights, plus the rotating beacon on Mt. Majura, as well as the Emergency Services Agency flood lighting :) So, light pollution is a MAJOR issue, and to have reflection issues in the Baader LP is a pain in the butt!

I'll order an IDAS...that seemed better before.
