Decided to try this one the other night. Another new target for me. This takes my imaging tally up to 5 images now, woohoo
Camera:ASI2600MC
Scope: SkyWatcher EvoStar 80ED + Orion FF
Filters: L-Extreme
Mount:EQ6-R Pro
Guiding camera: ASI290MM
Guiding scope: SkyWatcher EvoGuide 50ED
Subs: 16 x 480 and 9 x 500 (my fault... bad maths)
Total Integration: 3hrs 23mins (I want more time)
Gain: 100
Offset: 50
Lights: 25
Darks: 0 (I will reprocess with Darks later)
Flats: 18 (had a problem with NINA and Flats, I aimed for 40, 22 were rubbish)
Dark Flats: 40
Bortle Class: 6
Moon: 89%
Software: NINA, PHD2, Stellarium, PoleMaster, StarTools 1.7, Photoshop CC
It’s not much of a change in terms of colour. I just did a hue change in PS but only slightly to remove some of the reds and bring in a bit of yellow. Not much
The rest was edited in Startools. One day I’ll learn how to split the channels and process them separately
Adam,
Excellent image from an excellent camera
Quite a lot of depth and detail
Colours are superb
Well done !!
Martin
PS: have you tried the Startools presets in the colour module
Maybe post an enquiry in the ST forum , Ivo is always accomodating
Really nice. And the emission nebula below really pops!
Thanks Chris! yes that bottom bit came out pretty good

Thanks Martin. Yes I had a LOT of trouble with Startools on a previous image and almost gave up with the software, but the folks on the forum there really helped me and I was able to use that knowledge to edit this one.
I'm finding the Film Dev module really powerful. Love it!
