NGC4565

[alan4908]

An LRGB image of NGC4565 taken with my SX Trius 814 camera through my Esprit 150  - the image was previously posted in the Deep Sky imaging forum.

To maximize my chances of capturing some galaxy detail I took quite a few Lum subs and combined these with unbinned RGB data. I ended up with just over 14 hours integration time. Processing was done with three software packages:

• CCDstack: calibration, stacking & error rejection, Lum deconvolution and DDP stretch, RGB combination
• Photoshop: mask generation(s), High Pass Filter, colour enhancements, noise reduction
• Pixinsight: gradient reduction (DBE), Photometric colour calibration, green reduction (SCNR), noise reduction (TGVDenoise), sharpening (MLT).
