Hi all,
I have wanted to re-image this object with the QSI for over a year but only just now getting to the task. Last night the skies co-operated for a while so that I could gather data before the moon rose. I gathered 2.2 hours of data but it really needs around 7 I think to make it look nice. This week I will go down a couple of times to get the data I need.
What I immediately noticed is that the data taken last night was a lot sharper than my 40D attempt. The luminence layer really shows its worth over the standard DSLR images. There is still loads of noise in the new image that I will address by gathering more data. Stacking needs some attention too; there is some weird shaped stars in the mix at the bottom of the image. Like I said this is a quick and dirty show of what I am looking at so far.
I hope Mike likes my rendition.
