mackiedlm Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I have had 3 clear nights since April so I was excited when Clear outside told me I had a whole clear night coming up - but that was not to be. I ended up with barely an hour before clouds rolled in. So this is a very short 1 hour integration on a unseasonably warm night so don't zoom in too tight as noise is definitely an issue - though PI has tamed it to some extent 8" LX200GPS on a wedge, EOS700Da 22 X 180s ISO800 Processed in PixInsight Comments and suggestions for improvement greatly appreciated. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Boesen Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Very good image! Is it just me or does it look almost 3D-like? Victor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I was thinking about the contrast between the sharpness and details in the galaxy compared to the background;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also helped tame the background noise a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
