ASI071 Pro/Esprit 100 test shot Horsehead

[garymck (Gary)]

Hi,
here is a test shot taken under a half moon at Deniliquin last week.
30 x 300 sec
Bias
Flats
no darks
-15C

Only stretching, color balancing (non calibrated cheap monitor) and noise reduction in Pi, no sharpening/deconvolution.
Very basic processing as I have not used PI before.

Just a screen grab as reducing it to a standard jpg killed the detail.
cheers Gary

That's a good test shot, Gary.

Thanks guys,
first image with both a new camera and a new scope. Half moons aren't ideal imaging conditions :-), but hey, when you are desperate, any clear night will do!
cheers
Gary

I really like the simple, not over-processed, and very natural look to this Gary. Well done
