Thought I would test the ST10 on a bright star object to see how bad bloom spikes would be and if they can be easily removed. NGC6726 is a complicated area with three 6-7th mag stars in reflection nebula and a 5min sub showed a bloom spike the whole height of the sensor from the bright double star.
CCDops made a better job of spike removal from subs compared to Maxim leaving only the faintest traces in the finished image. I used 1min subs set to clean around the bright stars.
I had guiding problems and breeze so I binned the colour, it turns out I was not properly polar aligned.
Results look good but as usual I should have spent longer on the colour and luminance and not binning would have been better. I added an extra luminance to sharpen a bit more as LL RGB.
Wow- those are excellent images, research grade. I study HH objects professionally and I don't think I was able to track that well with a 1m telescope!
