Leo Triplet

[Miguel1983]

Hi,

after M101 was done i moved to the Leo Triplet, i must say i had some guiding issues on both nights i shot that target and lost several hours because i was sleeping like a brick.

So i'll move on to another target for now and leave the triplet behind.

Still i've managed 110 x 2m Lum and 35 x 2m each on RGB, and this is what i've made of it.

Not quite there yet, but i'm happy with it so far.

 

Thanks for looking, commenting

Another nice image @Miguel1983.  Do you use PI as some of the artefacts (bright star cores, background) remind me of some PI process output that could be tuned/masked.

Beginner myself, that's why I recognise the artefacts - seen them many a time in my own! 😂

I had another go at it, quite fast processing, i think this version is softer

Version 1

Version 2.3 with more color saturation
