Post by: Carole on Dec 22, 2024, 16:47:28
Reprocess of data captured in November 2018 at DSC. 

Limited time at camp and in the winter, so was lucky for some clear skies and reasonable weather, but was never happy with the result.  Now 6 years on with iproved skills and processing tools, i had another try.

20 x 600 Ha
17 x 600 Oiii
Atik 460EX on WOZS71 and Atik428EX on ED80 both with FR x 0.8
HEQ5

Bringing the total imaging time  to 6h 10m
