Description

13x300" ISO400 with Canon T3i. This was from the backyard orange zone but with LDS-D1 filter. Stacked with PI BPP, some stretch in PI, and light adjustments in PS CS6. This is my first real test with a lot of new equipment: VC200L instead of VMC200L, Lodestar X2 instead of SSAG, T3i w/ LDS-D1 instead of TSi w/ Astrodon Inside, tuned AVX with TPi spreader. My native FOV is 0.426 so this image is not much cropped (but I think it still has some coma, or some stacking problems). You can see screenshot example of STF stretched original 300' Flat CR2 here http://www.astrobin.com/191157/
