A very good rendition of a dynamic object! |
Thanks Colin
Yeah, I think it's going to be my go-to method going forward, I like how it turned out. If only Starnet++ resulted in less artifacts... still pretty tedious trying to clean that up.

Fully agree that the pink ones are hideous. White ones don't bother me so much. There's another option though and that's to use the same NB data to try and simulate RGB colour... I did that in
this image and I think that can work pretty well too.

Narrow-band images with RGB stars seem like the best of both worlds to me (despite the fact that I realise there's a huge amount of work being done in the background). Great result.

haha. A distinct possibility. Amusingly I don't even know what I'm going to put on it. I didn't even intend to buy that mount... I woke up, started talking to my wife about something totally unrelated... I somehow turned the conversation to the Mesu I'd seen advertised and by the end of the conversation we'd agreed that I would buy the mount. I think I have a problem.
My vague plan was to eventually get something 12"+ but I knew I'd need a bigger mount for that and had made no real plans to get one for financial reasons. I'll probably build/buy a 12-16" newt.
