[OzRob (Rob)]

The skies have finally cleared in my part of the world so it was time that I gave the QHY 9 that I bought in July a try. I picked a nice easy target to start with. This is a very quick process and I know that there are some issues including the blue halos. I will have more of a go at processing this in 2 weeks when I have a bit more time. I am very happy with the star colours.

The image was taken with the equipment in my signature. I aligned and stacked the RGB data in CCD stack and also aligned the RGB data with the lum data and saved them separately. I then had a quick play in PS doing curves and levels before a little selective unsharpening. Data as follows:

Lum 8 x 300secs binned 1x1 (I had to throw away 2 due to guiding errors)
RGB 7 x 180secs binned 2x2 in each channel
