Description

NGC7789 Caroline's Star Cluster - October 2021
Televue127is, ASI2600MC, A-P1100 AE Mount
IDAS LPS-2 Filter, Gain=0, B1x1
34*270s exposures - 2.55hrs
Pixinsight processed with Generalized Hyperbolic Stretching Script (part of testing parameter variation).
Stretching was done using a new Pixinsight script developed by Mike Cranfield employing my proposed generalized hyperbolic equations (still in development). Interesting trade offs between star halos, star size and star colour also star brightness vs background visibility - this was the result of trade-offs I made (ie. any poor choices were mine).  Other than that, only background neutralization, noise reduction (MLT, ACDNR) and Photometric calibration performed.
Subject globular star cluster (yes, globular) was discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1783, who's husband also was an astronomer. Sometimes I see a rose, sometimes not - imagination and squinting helps.
