Tried to not go over the top with processing, although Mike will probably tell me there is worms in there
Did two iterations of a low STD deconvolution in linear stage and a low STD low strength unsharp mask at the end. I am hoping that if I am able to run a deconvolution and unsharp mask without needing to use any mask or deringing, I may be okay... Only scrutiny will tell
As my first was literally just a histogram selection and curves I thought I'd do a bit more to see what's in the data. Considering that I have been having some tracking problems (reason for wanting to dismantle and regrease my EQ6) and imaging on 15-20 degree nights, I am quite happy with the level of detail. I know my tracking spikes are killing the achievable resolution so I hope to get that under control, or at least lessen it.
Hopefully have a stiffer guider arrive early next year, I have a strong feeling that I am suffering from differential flexure of ~1-2pix/hour in the guider. If I can get my PA down to ~20" on both axis I should be able to effective do 1 hour subs without excessive star streaking... I assume so anyway! QHY have quite recently released an OAG which will bolt onto the CFW (will end up much like a QSI) so I'll go down that path once they've done what seems like a single run. Who knows when they'll be released on a larger scale, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Still trying to vastly improve my processing skills so scrutiny is welcome.
Full Res for all you pixel peepers
