NGC6188 - Trying to tame dragons

[Doogs38 (Alex)]

While I recover from the dreaded Rona, I decided to process the 10hrs of "Fighting Dragons' OSC data I collected recently. The picky side me says it needs to be drizzled to improve a bunch of small undersampled stars, the arcsin stretch on the stars could be better, need to reduce some star halos bla bla but overall, I'm happy with this as a first cut. I'm really looking forward to doing a SHO version of this using my new mono gear.

Thanks for looking. Alex

Nice one Alex. It’s a great target to practice some mono post processing as well. Looking forward to seeing your SHO version.

Thanks everyone. Feels novel to be near my astro gear … I’m overcompensating atm lol. Alex
