Nov 8, 2019: Detail shots in colour

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

I used the ASI183MC cropped down to roughly the sensor size of the ASI178m and took some longer SER files (2000 frames) to see if I could improve the detail. These are all stacks of 250 frames (using AS!3), B&W version sharpened in ImPPG, colour balance of colour version restored in Registax 6, colour and sharpened B&W version L+RGB combined in FITSwork, and final tweaks in GIMP

Plato, Sinus Iridium,  and environs

Lovely images. I think the ones with heavy saturation my need a little more work to get best color balance. For instance the last one still has a blue sky background. Nonetehless, a very fine sseries of images.
