has anyone any idea about these off vertical bands radiating from the centre ? the filter is a Chroma Luminance . 

Its something on the Luminance master .. I will have to reprocess it again and see if it goes .. so it's not your MacBook ! ..  

This was the first image taken over the last week , shot Saturday ,Sunday and finished Monday 

147 x 300 second subs LRGB 

total integration time of 12.25 hrs 

180 flats 

30darks

30bias 

processed in APP and PS 

i would like to get some more definition in the dust , any suggestions ?  

Another image from this weeks sessions ..  the Cresent Nebula 

7 hours of 300 second subs Ha and OIII, processed in APP and PS and used Carbonis Action tools for a synthetic Green channel .. 

i did shoot with a Luminance filter as well , but turned out to be very busy with stars , so I left it out .. !

quite pleased with the resulting image but I think adding more subs might improve it .. 

Been a cracking week of clear skies here in sunny Essex 🙄Call it dedication or stupidity, but I've been out in the garden every night from last Saturday night though till Thursday morning 10 pm till 3.30am 😴..   It was great leaving the scope set up again then just starting it all up and away you go !   

I Wanted to try out a new filter , Chroma Ha 3nm ..  the only down side was I needed to refocus for the Baarders  ..  

so here's my attemp at 

IC5070 Pelican Nebula. ..  7.5 hours of 600 sec subs of Ha and OIII..
