Description

It's been a couple of years since I shot M106 and wanted to see if I could improve on previous efforts.

I shot 100 luminance frames (60 seconds each) and ended up not using them. With this camera (ASI6200MM) I'm not finding that luminance is adding much to the final image. The current deconvolution tools (Blur XTerminator) work well on the RGB combined image and I'm getting to the stage where I'll use luminance only very selectively - maybe on less bright objects. I'm curious what others may be experiencing.
