NGC6744 Galaxy with ASI482MC Planetary Cam

I'm continuing my experiment of using this planetary cam for imaging bright celestial targets. Is it comparatively noisy - yep. Do images take (slightly) more effort to clean up in post-processing - yep. Does it produce satisfying images - IMO, yep. This time, I combined the ASI482MC data with some awful looking data from an earlier session using an ASI294MC for a total of 3hrs 32mins integration. The resultant image shows some detail in the galaxy's arms which I didn't expect - I like it. I'll def be spending more time on this target.

SW120ED x 0.85 Reducer/Flattener
18 x 180s RGB ASI294MC (54mins)
79 x 120s UHC-S, ASI482MC (2hrs 38mins)
Darks, flats, dark flats. APP, PS, DeNoise and cropped.

As always, thanks for looking. Alex
