M42 and the g Man, a reprocess.

[lensman57]

Hi,

During the rainy and stormy weather there is little to do but reprocess old data. This is a reprocess the data captured on one exceptional night of transparency up here in manchester in the early hounrs of 5th of OCT. I sensed that I had overdone the HDR wavelets in the firprocess and the colour was a little off too so here is the result of the toned down reprocess, hope you like it. It was a stack  of 31 subs of 180s each, Atik 428 EX OSC @ -10C, IDAS P2, Ascension 80 mm Apo Triplet @ F4.8 and HEQ5 and PHD. Bias and flats but no darks. Processed in StarTools and PS. Thanks for looking.

Regards,

A.G

That's nicely done Lensman.

Interested to see you getting good results out of StarTools - I just can't get to grips with it myself...

Many Thanks, I think that ST it is a very good piece of software and Ivo is still developing it at great pace. If you drop him a line in the ST forum he is tnot oo busy, he will  do a personal tutorial for you if you wish.
