Hi Allan,
thank you for the nice comment. This was done with the TEC FRC 0.9x FlattenerReducerCorrector. I cropped just the edges to remove some dither artefacts. This was my processing workflow:
Pixinsight: WBPP -> NSG -> Integration -> RGBCombination -> SpectroPhotometric Color Calibration with a G2V star (our sun) -> MaskedStretch -> TIF
Photoshop: Sharpening -> remove a bit of green -> export 25% of original size
I will try to grab some luminance and also some H-alpha when we have a few clear nights this week.
My two imaging scopes have a focal length 1000mm (TEC 160FL with 0.9x reducer, f/6.3) and 590mm (A-P 130 GTX with 0.72x reducer, f/4.5). For the 1000mm configuration my field is perfectly flat and I can use the full frame sensor without cropping. In the 590mm I still have a bit of tilt but it is my personal goal to have this perfect by the end of the year too.
I was a pure visual observer with a crazy love for refractors. Covid lockdown made me build an observatory and start imaging. The Orion is the third image from the observatory. So when it comes to imaging I am a beginner.
Cheers,
Ecki
