    With some extra ballast weight the Crane now safely handles the 1600GTO and it's out for an alignment and guiding test.

    Slabs on the balcony

    From the album: Sky Crane

    The wood had some sway to it so I cut holes and put some 6" slabs in the wholes. The Crane jacks up on these solid slabs now and the wooden bit is free floating. The guide graphs loog good!

    M33 Fourth edit

    From the album: City View

    After great advice by Harry Page on pushing PixInsight's DBE tool to the max I reprocessed my M33 with some interesting results! Here in edit 4, I darkened the sky a bit, and upped the red in the Ha regions. Then I used PixInsight's DSE - Dark Structure Enhance scipt - a wavelet function to make the dust more interesting, and the galaxy itself then got a dose of unsharp mask in photoshop. This is 6h 15m total exposure. 5 min subs.
