Description

My first (real) image with my new STF-8300M. Clouds for 3 weeks, then I only had a chance to get 75 minutes worth of images before the clouds rolled in to stay again. Got 3x15' Ha and 2x15' OIII at -10C. As little data as it is, I'm pleasantly surprised by how clean it turned out (vs. the DSLR). I didn't spend a lot of time processing this... I was too anxious to get a look at what I captured, and I don't remember exactly what I did - a tiny bit of noise reduction (not enough), combined Ha as L & R, OIII as B & G (I think). Need to read some tutorials. I think the OIII didn't add a lot to the image, but maybe balanced the star color a little. Might make a difference if I captured more of it. Wanted SII also, but &^%$ clouds.
