Horse head and M78 First test of FR for my Askar 400.

[simmo39]

Hi all, well I finally think my back is on the mend so it let me do a few nights of imaging with my Askar 400 and ASI 2600mc. I thought I would try a wider field shot to test my 0.7 FR spacing. It didnt all go to plan due to my poor framing on the first few nights ( and trying to fight the moon ) made worse by more poor framing when I used the L enhance filter on the second night. The upshot of this is I had to crop the final image more than I had wanted. The Final image  still could do with work and I would have been better to dump the moon washed data but after not being able to image for so long i wasnt going to waste it.   66 x 120 RGB,  33 x L enhance data added as HOO.

Hints and tips welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Oh, here is a crop and rework of the Horse head.

Good work!  Second image is especially nice to look at.

Thanks, the first one I can't seem to bring out the details on the horse head with out losing it on M78. And vice versa. Oh well back to the drawing board!
