NGC 6914, RASA8/QHY268c/NBZ

[tomato]

This is 78 x 3 mins centred on NGC 6914 a pair of reflection nebulae in Cygnus. About half of the data was seriously affected by a bright diagonal gradient (caused I think, by a neighbour's intrusive backyard floodlight), which I have found hard to eradicate. The best results were obtained by omitting the calibration frames(!) so this image is presented without flats, darkflats or darks applied.

Stacked and LPC applied in APP, processed in PI with the XT tools predominately.

Thanks for looking.

This is a good pudding!

Thanks Olly, as I think you know, rolling clouds of Hydrogen are not really my thing, but I continue to be impressed by what this equipment combination can deliver, even under less than ideal conditions.

I've done this object twice with guests. It isn't my favourite but, hey, it's out there and we need to see it!
