Can't believe it's been 2 months since I had my astro gear out <sigh> So you can imagine how happy I was to have 2 clear nights AND be around my gear woohoo. I had a crack at the Statue of Liberty nebula but the framing is terrible which means I'll have another go at some stage. And despite my best newbie efforts in PI, I could not get rid of the red-ish pink colour in the final image ... I wanted that lovely 'sulphur yellow' colour instead ... which means I'll have another go at some stage
So I'm sharing my pink image with you. This is my deepest image yet at 10hrs 45mins of integration. It took PI's 'weighted batch processing preprocessor' aka stacker, nearly 7hrs to integrate and calibrate the data. I love this target and yes, I can see the Statue of Liberty.
My first time running the whole rig entirely off a LiFePO4 battery setup. One complete night of imagery barely dents the capacity of a 120Ah battery. Thanks for looking. Alex
