More of less

And less of more.

Just for giggles...first time able to image in 3 months (), and of course got sweet FA data due to LP issues, but mainly trees. Anyone loan me a chainsaw?

Usual acquisition details: FSQ-106 PRE-N (fixed dewshield fluorite FSQ), SX M26C OSC without filters (apart from a UV/IR), Vixen SXP mount, next to Canberra airport. Very thin cloud started around 11pm...I kept going

1. M42 - this is a SINGLE 10 min sub. No calibration done to it whatsoever, and only a screen transfer stretch. Dust mote issue discussed in the imaging equipment forum.

2. M78 - another single 10 min sub, but this time with full calibration. No processing apart from screen transfer stretch. Seems to have removed the dust motes with full calibration

3. NGC 2014 near the Tarantula. Only 1 hr data, full calibration, noisy as all hell. Details starting to come out in the full size original.
