IC 289

[Star101]

I took this last week. Imaged over 7 hours but only used about 2.5 hours of subs due to clouds and cables.

28 x 300 lights

30 x Darks, Flats

100 Bias

Atik 4120EX OSC, C11 @ 2800. Mesu 200.

SGPro, PixInsight

I think lots more time is needed to get a decent image. 

Thanks for looking

That looks a tough little blighter.  Well done for showing it so successfully

there is a lot in this image that sparkles of high quality--the acquisition was great (stars look good for the long FL, focus was spot on, guiding was good), space looks very natural (not black or overly dark), and the object looks good too--so processing was spot on.  You did not push this data beyond what it could support.   I know all about having to throw out hard earned subs due to the sky conditions....quite frankly it stinks.  But you overcame.  Well done and keep at it--more data will make this image shine.

Than you Rodd for your kind words. 

Yes, my aim is to show detail. Space is not so black
