Experimenting with Omega Centauri Data (Now with Colour)
Just playing squeezing out more detail I added some old data from last year to the new subs of Omega Centauri giving 280 subs at 15 secs, the old subs were taken during approx 80% moon and were 48 degrees rotated to the new subs, when I stacked them the result image had so many colour gradient problems, green, purple and blue gradients to the sky and purple and green stars, it will take a while to fix the image so I converted it to greyscale being a lot easier to deal with for now. I will post the colour image when its problems are fixed.
This image seems ok for now and the Crop of the core shows a lot of detail for only 15sec subs.
I have been able to fix some of the star colour and gradient problems so I have added a cropped colour version from the same data, it still needs some work though.
