IC405 - 10th November

Taken from Chris's after a kind invite due to no DSC

Stacked and processed in Iris and Photoshop

It was pretty foggy which made things interesting, this seems to be a bit of pig to process and there seems to be all sorts of strange things going on from bizarre gradients to uneven banding!
Not sure if this was due to imaging threw the fog or not, but either way i'm pretty sure this would benefit from more subs!
Spot the dust doughnuts thanks to not taking flats.....

Hi Jon,

I'm impressed you got this considering I could not see the end of the garden, much better than my M35

I'm impressed too.  For that number of subs I'm really surprised it came out as well as it has.

Thanks 

I wanted something closer to double that many subs but it got so foggy i couldn't guide anymore.
Next clear night i want to add to it though and think some of the subs i have used should be removed as are very washed out from the fog!

It's not an easy target that one - I'm surprised it came out as well as it did, given the conditions.

Good star colours!  So you're back to using Iris

So you're back to using Iris

I'm still experimenting, this was only a quick process and nothing is quick in ImageJ!
Plus if there is even the slightest gradient ImageJ just makes it 10 times worse but yet to find a way of removing them, this was FULL of very strange ones!

My garden is quite dark.....
