Description

This was an experiment with a secondhand TMB flattener for my WO 132FLT, imaging at its native FL at F7, giving an image scale of 1"/px. There was relatively poor transparency and seeing and my guiding needs some improvement. This faint target certainly presented a challenge both to capture and to process. There are faults and more data needs to be collected. But I'm not too disheartened.

Revision B - further stretching of dark nebulosity to help reveal structure.

Revision C - tried GreyCStoration to help smooth noise.

Comments always welcome. Thanks for looking.
