Hello
I would like to submit my repro of NGC 6744 for this month's challenge.
http://www.martinpughastrophotograph...GC6744LRGB.jpg
* Scope: 12.5" RC
* Imaging device: SBIG STL11000M
* Mount: Bisque PME
* Guiding: Self Guided using AO-L
* Exposure details: LRGB 9.5.5.5 Hours, plus a few more binned 2x2 lum only to capture the outer arms.
* Stacking method: Fully calibrated, RCC Combine.
* Summary of post processing: Image calibration, blend of the unbinned and binned luminance. RGB combine in CCDStack. LRGB combine in Maxim. Deconvolution on L frame, with selective HPF. Finished off in PS CS4 - levels, curves, colour enhancement, light pollution removal etc.
* Darkness of imaging site: Average - Yass, NSW.
* Date(s) image taken: This is a repro of data first taken in late 2008. That probably disqualifies this image!
thanks
Martin
