Here's my attempt at Chamaeleon I, part of the Chamaeleon Dark Nebula Complex. 12 hrs of 90sec subs on an ASI071MC (UV/IR filter) and an 80mm refractor - processed in PI.
I had a lot of trouble trying to bring out any of the gas clouds. You can barely see them. I think the problem was a whole pile of uneven illumination. I tried to remove it with DBEextraction, and not clobber the dark and cloud bits. Part of it might be some remaining cloudy subs as it wasn't great Feb-Mar when I did this. Also, I suppose a big issue was that my scope was mostly pointing in the general direction of Sydney city (23km away).
Comments, suggestions please.
Almost gave up before I started processing when I saw Strongman Mike Sidonio's Cham II in Aus Sky&Telescope. And then I got delayed processing as the fan on my CPU cooler died. The replacement water cooled one took ages to arrive, but it really made a difference. Now with all 8 cores running at 100% it only touches 60C!!
