I know this is bread and butter for most of you guys down South, However for us Northerners its a bit of a challenge not getting very high up. It is one I have been chasing for many years and although I have imaged it before its always been a bit of a let down as far as detail is concerned....
This was a first data set from a 16in Dall-Kirkam I stripped, rebuilt and fitted in our observatory in Spain, Its been a bit of a journey if I'm honest....it gave really horrible stars before I managed to sort it..
2hours each in RGB all 180s subs unguided 2720 fl....pretty optimistic over sampling the idea was to software bin if needed....I felt with the sheer volume of frames it was ok and a lot of it could be recovered with deconvolution, rejection in stacking and sharpening etc...
I lent toward the more pink hue taking advantage of its high blue signal, the idea being closer to the colour we see in HII regions in galaxies.....
Anyway enough of the waffle and thanks for looking
