I aim to image M1 a few more times over the coming months as an ongoing project. Its a bright nebula and easy to image. I'd like to get as detailed a picture as possible.
I do have more data. This data is from Monday night. I used the new WeightedBatchPreprocessing Script in PixInsight to process. I can't see much difference when I used the old BatchPreprocessing script but I find I do actually prefer this image over the other made the old way. Thanks PixInsight
Anyhow, here is Monday nights M1 processed the new way.
Thanks for looking.

Atik 4120EX OSC, OAG on C11@2800mm. Mesu 200. PixInsight. SGPro.

Than you Rodd for your kind words.
Yes, my aim is to show detail. Space is not so black

I enjoyed that minute
That halo around the moon brought last night back to me. Last night I gave up when I saw that halo lol.
I liked the way I could see the cloud/mist passing by. What frame rate where you recording at ?
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks too James.
As I said, it was just there. Looked very clear and bright. No tracking to worry about at 0.05s lol. And it was interesting to use Autostakkert again. Long time since I used that free program.

I hear ZWO have frosting issues with some of their cameras but QHY don't ?
Having used my ZWO 183mm pro for some time now, I can categorically say the camera does NOT have frost issues.

I have an account with iTelescope. The images I take using their equipment are my images by law. I have taken test shots to get a feel for the camera/scope. I chose the rig I wish to use. I buy time on that rig. Images taken at that time with that rig are placed in a folder for me to download when I wish, within reasonable time frame of a few months. The images are supplied raw or calibrated.
I think iTelescope and other such organisations are a great thing to have available to the public.
I still have my own setup at home ( see my sig ) I just don't have the skies. iTelescope is not cheap. A typical image costs me around £70 using my preferred process. Compare that to buying your own gear and setting up, storing, repairing should anything go wrong. and having good weather! There is not much in it really.
If I add all the images I have in my library. That I have taken, processed and printed off or shown to family and friends ( not counting the fun/rubbish/attempts I post online ) Just the really worthwhile stuff. When all said and done...Remote imaging/renting is good value in my eyes

Meant to add - my retiring thought last night was that I should have a back up remote access system in place in case TeamViewer fails. My research pointed towards Microsoft Remote Desktop, but I will investigate Radmin too.
I have both TeamViewer and Anydesk on my remote ( garden shed ) laptop. For times such as this when one fails...does the other fail too? if yes, it's probably a PC Down/Off issue. If no, it's probably TeamViewer playing up again
Hope you find an easy solution.

OOOOHHH Drool 😛 Looks gorgeous. Would love to have one of those 🤞 I'm very envious.
Looking forward to seeing more photos. Also some images that beast can take

Very nice. whipdry
I have been imaging this myself the last few nights. Not had chance to process yet. If mine looks half as good as this, I will be happy

Quite. Using them during the hours of darkness will be completely out.

This is why I use Anydesk....Sit in my safer House living room while, in the shed, the mount slews merrily away with no one to bump into

This made me laugh
When I had the electricians working in my ROR Shed, I saw one guy hit his head a couple of times on the weight bar weights!! OUCH!! 😮 They were set horizontal as the roof was shut (raining). They should have asked for danger money lol. ( Or wore protective helmets )
A friend of mine, when visiting my 10' x 8' shed, asked...Why so big? - Answer -So I can move without hurting myself 😛 ...... I will show him this thread when he visits next as good reasons

Looking on with interest as one of my cameras could do with a little moisture reduction. Not a problem at the moment but could move that way in the next few months.

You will probably need ASCOM drivers to connect the scope to CdC.

I can't complain. Even if my neighbour chopped down two trees in their garden, which they did last week, but left the tree next to my obsy standing. What they don]t realise is that it shelters my scope from the street light directly west of us. Three doors away that side. I always image to the East because that's where the darkest sky is.
I leave my neighbours to think what they will

Oh wow. If only my neighbour would do the same here.
Happy for you Dave

Thanks Wim, I tried the link to the repository but it failed ,saying no updates, so I removed it as PixInsight suggested it was not verified.
I will try Geralds suggestion and rename or delete

Good capture Dave. I can even make out the tail.
Well done for 120s.
