Thanks Greg,
The cropped versions will always look transparent as the images sizes are significantly smaller. I’m only imaging at 1000mm so the galaxy is tiny in the frame. I crop them for a larger view which in turn affects the depth and transparency of the image. A 1000mm 8” scope is not exactly ideal for Galaxy imaging directly under Sydney’s heavy LP, but we do our best. My luminance subs unfortunately were captured with some moon around low in the west so again SNR was affected.More clear moonless nights would improve the image overall, 8 hrs is barely enough at my location. Down south at the Dome is obviously a completely different scenario.
Cheers
Martin
