Half a Shark

[powerlord]

Hmm.. I struggled to find out the best pov for LDN1235... I figured 400mm with my asi2600 would be more than wide enough, but it wasn't clear what orientation it was in either from my asiair, and sky safari doesn't show a picture of it either.

so.. I shot all last night - with a full moon  so not exactly the best time, but I got half a shark!! yeh!

maybe I can get the other half tonight.

300s subs at gain 0.  6 hours worth believe it or not - not bad for august... anyway, assuming I can orientate the thing to get the back half of it, that's tonight's plan.

Your stars look a bit weird, star removal artifacts?

[powerlord]

oh yeh the bright ones look a bit funky - yeh it's starnet2++ that's made them weird.

It's those big ones yes ? smaller ones are fine. I tried starX and same thing.

So I pulled out the stars instead using levels, and added them back that way - a bit better ?

Nice shark! must add this to my list!

[ONIKKINEN]

Do you have the newest AI of StarXterminator installed? It has a bit better performance with remaining artifacts from big stars, but some will still be weird.

Second one does look better👍.

[powerlord]

yeh latest one installed.

If it's any use I use RA 22h 2m 11s Dec 73d 3m 1s for its coordinates

Nice shark! You have to be impressed with the modern cameras, 5 or 10 years back the advice would have been don’t attempt objects like this when there is a moon up.

Thanks,  it was more orientation,  size. But took second panel last night and got it all. Will post when processed.

Yeh its amazing really.  I got a bit dejected after failing to get the witch. But it's so low where I am,  shark is right up there which helps.
