Well it's been some 3 months since my last image (40min Lum on Corona Australis with the AG12)....so while I wait for my new lap top (being replaced under insurance) to arrive so I can get out there again proper, I decided to do what I have been known to do ocassionally and that's...REPRO
Well it's not really a repro as such but rather a new compilation....
I had wanted to image the Corona Australis region in full colour with the F3.8 AG12 under darker skies but the season for it has disappeared, so alas I have resorted to digging up some old RGB data taken back in 2007 with the Starfire and ProLine11002.
Considering the AG12 luminance data used here was only 8X5min worth taken from horribly light polluted skies in poor seeing when the region was low in the sky
... I added a sythetic lum made out of the Starfire RGB to the 40min of AG12 Lum, to provide a bit of extra punch.
Anyway not the best Corona Australis ever taken and some noise present due to the short exposure and crap conditions (and I like to avoid too much smoothing) but I am just happy to be clicking the mouse around Astroart5 and Photoshop again, yay!
Due to the different field sizes and orientations of the two data sets cropping was required so it is significantly less than the full field of view of the AG12 and PL16803
Here's a version 50% of full size you can shrink to what ever fits on your moniter best
