'First light' LS60THa/PT/B1200C

Well not a very successful first light, but it's a start. Not nice seeing, shot in a big sucker hole close to one edge of the hole, making the seeing el-yucko! Also had the factory across the road pumping tons of smoke which was drifting across the FOV giving me yoyo type transparency, forcing me to come up with a gain setting & sticking with it throughout the captures because I still had to do a mosaic..I did a 9 paner with the DMK21 but I was scared of getting overlap bands with Imerge. It'll come down to 4 panes if I don't get the bands..

Overall, the RAW was too bright (too much gain!) but refer to the variable trans excuse lol so I'm dropping the gamma severely on this final. Straight out of Registax, no processing.

Should add I stuffed up the mosaic, but I don't think I need to

Onward & upward!
