Radec Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 As we know, with UK weather like it is, all I can do is reprocess old data with newly acquired algorithms. So this is data from April 2021 - the Leo Triplet. It's an integration of 2 hours 42 mins on the same night, pre & post meridian flip. Captured with APT and processed entirely in PI. No filters. BlurXT has done a good job of reducing some of the blobby stars without looking too false. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCD Imager Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Great image Keith, very similar to my recent version. Its a cool group of galaxies to photograph. I see you have the Pegasus rotator, I'll be buying one tomorrow at the PAS. Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkster501 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Wonderful. I love the detail and you have not been tempted to over-saturate the colour like many - myself included - have a tendency to do. What makes your image special is that you have a lot of the very faint outer reaches of the galaxies and I think that makes it especially nice to see. I am working on my own LRGBHa rendition of this when we get some clear nights. I'd be over joyed if it turns out as good as yours. Well done.

Adrian It’s one of those pieces of equipment that often sits idle, but on the occasion you need it, it is like your thumb - you wonder how you managed without it.

The wonders of BlurXterminator - a brilliant piece of addition to PI. Easy deconvolution for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for the positive comments and good luck with your own version. Clear nights are a rarity in the UK at the moment and it’s Galaxy season! Grrrrr!
