Markarian's chain 2011 and 2020

[carastro]

Struggling with LRGB from Bromley and no NB targets around.

This is the camera where I had those awful artifacts a couple of nights ago and eventually we decided it was ice formation and needed the dessicant changing and the camera drying out. 

Background gradients and LP forced me to combine the data with an old image done in 2011 (last time I imaged this target) in darker locations, albeit with a DSLR.

Hi Carole! 
Hope you’re well! 
Galaxy’s galore!! 
isn’t it typical that when you have the time and the skies allow, equipment issues rear their ugly head!! 
I hope you have the problem sorted now.

It’s fun going back to old data and trying to combine it with new, maybe a tad pink but that will be the older modded slr data I’m guessing? 
anyway, thanks for sharing 

stay well

I would say a bit purple rather than pink, but the colours are balanced, so not sure how that happened.  Tried to adjust the colours, but looks a bit boring, so decided to leave them pretty purple.
