Rodd Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 This is another image I was never satisfied with. I had cropped this FOV from a widefield shot taken with the FSQ 106 to what I thought was good effect--but closer inspection revealed its shorfalls. So I tried to image the same FOV with the TOA 130--coincidentally the identical FOV. The image ended up better processed--but pale and dim. More details were clearly prsent, but the presentation was ho-hum. So I reprocessed the data. Here is what I came up with. As in previous images, there was a bit of motling in the re channel, there was small scale noise throughout, and brightening the image resulted in a compromise of the double star near the lower ridge--which I consider the benchmark for this FOV. I have improed all tehedifficincies. I won't go so far as claiming the are fixed, becuase there is always room for improvement. TOA 130 Ha: 93 300sec OIII: 96 300sec SII: 100: 300sec 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimvb Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Excellent image, Rodd. Great contrast and brilliant control of the dark dust lane on the right. At the same time you kept the stars under control. 👍👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
