My new project is to image the Antennae galaxy.
The image below represents the start of this project. I am really really happy with the guiding. I have got the OAG on the QSI working well at present. I don't know how I did it but it works and that is all that matters to me. I am still using PHD and this seems to work well too.
The luminance of this image is pretty good, the colour frames are not so good for some reason. These are noisey for some reason. I have done a noise control and blur to each colour but the odd spots of colour are not working so well on the image. I would welcome any tips that anyone would have for me.
I have included a crop of the image too. Lots of fine detail can be seen in the central regions. I am quite pleased with the detail present. The processing of course needs some work, but I will get the new data first.
