First photons captured by the '183MC

Hi all,

Apologies for the delay, got caught up with stuff and wasn't able to sit down and smash out the processing like I wanted to.

The '183MC-Pro has been a bit more difficult to get my head around than I expected, so I'm not totally happy with what I've managed to produce. (Also adding an EAF to the mix didn't help, either.)

However, it's all a learning experience and things will only get better from here.

Looking at the two 47 Tuc / NGC104 images side-by-side, I can see that my processing efforts are... for lack of a better word... inconsistent from one session to the next.

NGC290 makes me think of an explosion in a confetti factory...

Cheers,
V

I've misplaced what camera settings I used, but they were all taken with the ASI183MC-Pro (cooled to 0 degrees C), on the SW 72ED @ 357mm focal length.
