Saturday prom + surface merge 1st try.

[Rusted]

The morning cloud cleared to blue skies but the seeing was a bit "thermally."

Late in the afternoon it settled a bit so I grabbed some videos in W/L and H-a just before the trees intervened.

My first ever attempt at merging two images in PhotoFiltre.

I'm afraid I got a bit greedy and pushed the prom too far at the expense of the surface detail in the final image.

150/8 CR150 working at 120/10.  90mm internal D-ERF + PST + ZWO 120MC + 2x Barlow nose in SharpCap.

I promise to do much better next time.
