New unknown object.

I am pretty sure this is a new discovery

I have yet to name it or advise anyone

So this is a product of finding an area and seeing what might be there...Somewhere around the LMC as I do explore around there a fair bit...this was probably the last thing I did before I found out about the cancer or at least started getting very sick.

Playing with high gain on the ZWO 1600 is so much fun... this stuff I thought to play with the subs and get more familiar with Startools..the reason was mainly that the subs looked black and I wanted to see what I could pull out..

For what ever reason my Ha acquired a slightly different size to the other processed images and Startools would not accept it in the Composite Tool.
..I cant think why the different size as I crop everything first and then saving each file and when they are all cropped I start with the first and go thru one by one..Startools looks at the earlier crop to set the frame ... I do it that way because I have had the program crash and it loses the crop details so I have to start over...mind you that was with the old Lappy but I think I will continue to do it that way...

So I only was able to use my Luminance, O11 and S11...although my Luminance was made up of everything including the Ha so I guess it got included that way...sort of..ok for art but not really what we should do...the composite came out to my eye colourless so I stuck it in the colour tool and dialed up the saturation way past where it should be but hey I am just mucking around and somehow I found it appealing and left it so bright..

I tried to do more in Photoshop but my dodge and burn tool flips between showing a circle of influence and little cross hairs ..why I do not know but it ticks me off because the little cross I just can not use effectively.

There was so much noise in this image even after Startools did its magic... I wanted to darken the background so I could hide it that way ..yes very naughty but I do like to save an image rather than throw it out...anyways even though I dont know what these objects are I do think they will make a serious target in the future as I find them very interesting...

Thanks for watching.


EDIT..gear..115mm triplet, ZWO 1600 mono..probably an EQ 6R mount, definetly unguided and gain 400 with one minute subs..maybe 2 hours of data..
