I've been doing so much testing that I've hardly imaged at all for a long time. So much so that I've forgotten how to process. Not to mention that I decided to bite the bullet and get PixInSight. I must thank Mark Adams for being so patient and for helping me to get going with this program as I put up quite a fuss. Change is hard!! This image used 3 programs: CCDStack, PixInSight, and Photoshop CS-5. I did the initial colour combine and background fixes in PixInSight...in other words all the linear steps. I was happy with that but have too much to learn to go any further!
Anyway, this is the result of a test of a TAK TOA-67 flattener on my TEC180. It has a nice long BF so I'm going to be able to just squeeze my ONAG XT in. This was without the ONAG. The image is cropped some only to control the background and not because of star shape.
