Description

This was an effort to leverage the best parts of data from two different CCD imaging setups. Overall the data was collected as part of the BAT project but we decided to see what we could get with our mono CCD data alone using the newest twiddly bits in Pixinsight
The smaller FOV matches the data from the second setup with a larger 130mm William Optics scope and smaller 4.6 micron pixels of the Atik460EX CCD.
I had enough data to allow BlurXTerminator to do a good job on deconvolving my drizzled stack to blend nicely with the finer pixel scale of my collaborators data while throwing away over half my original FOV!
