M65 & M66 with 10" CDK

Hi everyone,

M65 & M66 taken in early February 2022 from the ASV's LMDSS in Healthcote, Victoria.

Equipment used was a 10" f6.8 CDK, ASI1600mm camera, AP900 mount and LRGB filters.

Luminance 2 hours 45 minutes, RGB channels 1.5 hours each. Total Exposure: 7.25 hours. Some more Luminance would have been nice to reduce the noise after sharpening.

Processed in Pixinsight using the EZ scripts for the Luminance channel and a routine involving background neutralisation, photographic calibration, SCNR, hue saturation, curves and noise reduction for the RGB channel.

Hope you like it.

Clear skies.
