My First LRGB

[Dave Moulton]

This Mono cam stuff is bl**dy irritating, I managed to get some colour data to enhance M101 but in turning the manual filter wheel I managed to nudge the camera orientation which ruined my work flow in merging the RGB in Photoshop. Don't even ask how I managed to get a result of sorts in the end. I have so many versions of this I could never do it again. Still all good fun he says through clenched teeth.

Scope Megrez 110

Camera SXV-H9

Exp L 1HR RGB 15 Mins on each filter Binned 2x2

Stacked in DSS and murdered in Photoshop.

Any workflow tips would be helpfull. Any tips on processing due to camera mis alignment would be great

If you can get a copy of Maxim, that does an ace job of aligning the images. There might be something that you can do with deep sky stacker as well.

Blimey , I would say that's excellent for a starter LRGB. It took me several attempts to get anything reasonable. As you said , avoiding knocking the camera is a good idea Some software struggles when there is a large rotational difference.
