M106 (Approx 3.5 hours)

[Darth Takahashi]

Attached you can find M106 from last night...I don't want to jinx it but I'm having a few nice nights...one after the other which is unusual:)

Anyway, learning all the time, I used my second PSU tonight to run the heaters at approx 1 AMP each to stop any fogging of the lenses. Ran the imaging session in to the early hours of the morning and even made some flats!!! for only the second time!!!

The image is approx 35mins RGB binned 2x2 and Lums, 2 hours!

I lost only 3 images due to satellite strikes during the night.

I hope you like it, the colour balance might be a bit off

Excellent work Neil, superb looking image.

Looking good Neil

You could do with throwing some more colour data at it, and it is looking a little magenta at the moment.

A way to bring out colour more effectively is to add your luminance data at 50% opacity, then tweak the colour layer saturation.

Then combine this into another layer (SHIFT/CTRL/ALT/N/E).

Then add your luminance again at 50% opacity and again tweak the saturation.

Cheers
