M81

[DMouse]

HI, having not had many clear night I totally took the first one that came along the other night. I had some guiding issues early on and then found my flats were not calibrating the lights very well. Turns out I had changed some capture setting in Nebulosity that changed the lights to 32bit!! Big mistake! Having stayed up till 4am and getting lots of sub frames I was a little gutted to find this out. Anyway, I managed to get a pretty good image considering.

Lights

Lum 12x5min

RGB 5x5min each

Bias, Darks and Flats applied and all processed in PixInsight

Capture was with Nebulosity V3

Camera ATIK383L+ with EFW2 filter wheels and Baader 36mm LRGB flters

Mount HEQ5pro

Clear Skies

A mighty good one there.

Will add it to my list of targets though it won't be anything as good as this.
