After my return from 3 weeks in India and NOT seeing more than 2 stars the whole trip due to the chronic air and light pollution I was itching to do some astrophotography with my new scope. Took a while to get all the gear back into the observatory and amazingly everything just worked without hickcoughs. Even though the moon was full for some of my luminance subs i managed to get 59x10min subs and combine this with some old OSC colour data from my QHY8 camera using Registar.
Comments welcomed.
Wow Allan you must be happy with that. Very smooth and detailed. It turned out a hell of a lot better than my attempt last night.
The large amount of data in luminance really made it easy to process, but i still had to use PixInsight to remove the gradient induced by the moon being up for some subs
you are a rotten barstool Allan! you go away and we are left here with cruddy weather, tell us it was cruddy over there and then come back and take and process this - you are cruel, pure and sadistically cruel!!!
Thanks Geoff, its a shot Ive been meaning to get back to for some time.

LOL.
Have you been secretly talking to my ex-wife in Newcastle? Sounds just like her! Nasty!
Well you wouldn't give me a shot at that QHY10 so I just had to struggle through with what I could rustle up. If you're nice then Ill send some clear air your way.
