Description

Here is my start on NGC 4490, an interesting irregular galaxy. Quite bright, so I was able to use 5 minute subs to gather this detail in Luminance. This is the start of a new processing for me as I ordered the Color model of the Atik 314L+ to capture chrominance to see how that works compared to capturing each channel separately. I'm hoping to reduce my time with gathering color data due to the lack of clear nights to work with. I hope to capture the chrominance over the weekend and then blend with the Luminance.

I've added a revision as I did capture chrominance with my new Atik 314L+ OSC. I will need to start taking darks with this camera as it looks like simply letting DSS handle hot pixels is not satisfactory. Also, I'll have to do a bit more integration than I did due to the bayer matrix not capturing as much signal as the mono. Not sure if this will end up saving time in the long run.
