Description

RELOADED version : April 2015, while waiting for 7 minute' subs on my IC443 project, I thought it could prove interesting to see what I could do "today" with these exact same frames of this very first light on a DSO with my new gear. This is Photoshop only editing...

Here is, from last night's acquisitions, what I believe to be (nearly) the best I can pull out of the data.

Thank you, Professor P. for the final advices, and Paddy for the encouragement.

Due to inconsistency in tracking target (I changed during acquisition time), the frame is much more cropped that needed.

Sharing my own records / the actual frames are :

10 x O-III (= 1x72s / 3x30s / 6x8s) = 210 second ;

10 x Lum (=1x30s / 2x15s / 7x8s) = 116 second.

Field depth : down to approx. 16.10.
