scotty38 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 This is appearing for me at about 01:00 so I had about three hours before dawn last night although I binned the first 1.5 hours as it was far too low so I just kept the later frames. 32 x 180 seconds with the L-eXtreme. For the PI users this has ABE and PCC with an STF applied as HT. I'll be trying to get more data as and when I can for this one.... 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teoria_del_big_bang Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 You've done well to get that this time of year 🙂 Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart1971 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Super image, I much prefer the more neutral background in this image, I find many people seem to want the background, as black as possible…👏🏻👍🏼 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty38 Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 Thanks both. It was a tad low to start with and the difference in star numbers for example between the first 20 frames and the last 20 was huge. I did actually think the background was a bit too light but I've not tried to do anything with it yet given I've only a handful of frames so far. Having said that I don't know if it's my stretching knowledge (lack of) or not but my images always look a bit washed out compared with most I see so I always think I'm doing something wrong anyway.... I set up last night to capture a few hours of LDN1235 and then to move on to the Veil at 01:00 again but it looks like everything stopped at 00:15. I even thought I'd been clever imaging for x hours rather until a specific time to avoid any clock change issue but looks like something else got me. It shouldn't be updates as they're configured for daytime but I'll check it out later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty38 Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 Cloudy Outside forecast 100% cloud last night so I ignored it and managed to get another couple of hours to add to this..... I'm hoping there's a positive difference, but I just stacked the additional frames, STF and PCC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juno16 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Amazing first capture for only 1.6 hours of integration. Definitely better details with the additional data. I don't have an L-eXtreme, but I have a L-eNhance and I must say that these filters are awesome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you think there's more detail as I keep spinning between the two and thinking the latter is brighter but more blurred rather than more detailed, I just cannot decide. I even thought about about manually culling the files and picking the best from the two nights to see what that looks like. Oh and yep I quite like the l-extreme... My wife has bought me a mono camera for my 60th but it's not until August lol so I've decided the Veil is a mini project until then so I'll keep adding to it as and when I can. I will then try it in mono and do a comparison, even if only for my eyes.... Edited April 10, 2022 by scotty38 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
