Sculptor / Silver Dollar 55mins in OSC RGB @ F10

[dylan_odonnell (Dylan)]

All rules broken, not much data, black point pushed to disguise streetlight gradients, heavy post noise removal, and poor colour after removing green bias from the QHY12 OSC CCD. 11 x 5m subs. Celestron 9.25" Edge HD.

I got some blooming I (hurriedly) removed in post. I've never actually had blooming before. Especially on such faint stars and only 5m exposures. Weird.

I do like the magnification at the full focal length with no reducer though, and was happy to get some good detail for such little integration. Nice little (big) galactic target really and quite high in the early evening right now.

plenty of detail Dylan - nice work.

A good return on a short investment of time!
