Description

Another exhibition of this learning process !

Yesterday, we had a clear night with good seeing (4) and an atmospheric resolution of 1.21 arc second.

So, along with IC 1805, a brand new framing of M42 and some extra frames for M78, I decided to go further and experiment with M 101.

This picture is a combination of the first session (0-III filter and broadband, under polluted sky, it is delivering a very poor color balance ) and a new set of frames - next version, for this combination, I will re-open the subs of the first session instead of using the noisy finished "master" and stack it on these new frames :

UHC filter =

2x 210 sec,

2x 220 sec,

1x 360 sec, all @6400iso

Broadband =

4x 54 sec

RULE N°462 : under light polluted sky, no need to push the iso and exposure time in broadband acquisition. Only yellow-white sky will be the result !

RULE N°463 : not so much oxygen 3 in our universe :-)

Learning process !
