Description

I love galaxy season to see what I can capture with my 6SE. NGC 3718 is a favorite with its interesting warped shape. I could not get PCC to work in Pixinsight on this target. The stars are not the greatest so I wonder if that threw off the plate solving. At any rate, I used the failure to test out the Pixinsight auto color script which seems to work well and is much less aggravating than PCC!
