With IR I'm less affected and can just boost contrast to match subs taken at the zenith with the ones taken closer to the horizon with almost no resulting noise. |
Digging this thread right up from the archive.
Marc and any others, do you have any experience to share on which band pass is best for different targets? I'm realistically only interested in DSOs for now, though if the same pass works for planets and the moon that'd be fine too
I find it totally amazing that there are so many stars visible in IR and not in R.
