Description

I have been learning PixInsight for about a month now. I felt I was ready to try all I had learned so far so I searched my archives for the best subs I could find. Last month, through a break in the clouds, I shot M13. My efforts to process didn't look that good so I forgot about them. For this exercise, the M13's looked like the best I had so I gave it a try. This is the result of using some very basic functions in Pix. I am most happy that the background "artifacts" I had before are gone. I have some more data that I had not successfully processed and may spend some time on those. For now, my project is to perfect calibration frames (right now I am only using Darks). Also, I got my first 11th mag. galaxy, NGC6207. Then, when Astrobin plate solved, it found a 15th mag. galaxy, IC4617! Now THAT'S exciting!!!
