Last night I almost thought I'd beaten my
previous 'best of' M83.
It was a ripper night...very ,very steady.
This set suffered from the cooling being too close to dew point
with no dew heaters to deal with it.
The grainy/wavy cast over the result when fully stretched shows the
beginnings of ice forming on the Baader filter.
I've also got a pretty serious dust bunny I'm too lazy to deal with!
As well as that....(seems to come in threes!) I've got hot pixels
or bad pixels that survived calibration and show up in the align (bottom right).
Doesn't look too bad 10ft from the monitor though
I did a deconvolve with 30 iterations on the overall image.
New RA gear MkII / no autoguiding, only 3 recentres due to breeze.
