Impressive to say the least Rolf. Enjoyed the write up and comparative images. I have few questions;
- What was your methodology for combining such a large stack of sub frames? Did you group them into smaller masters, then combine the masters?
- What was your FWHM tolerance for including a sub into the combine? You show a FWHM of 1.7" in one
- If you've used 152hrs, what percentage did you trash due to not meeting the tolerance?
- Do let us all in on your secret on how to capture quality LRGB data 2 days before full moon on the 4th April with an 12.5" F/4 scope!
- Did you consider binning the RGB data given its not delivering any further resolution compared the Lum? Would have saved you some exposure time.
Looking forward to seeing your next deep sky extreme imaging adventure.
