Description

This is a complete rework of data, captured during late summer, using Astro Pixel Processor.

Captured at a beach on the Isle of Anglesey, off the North Wales coast. This is a Bortle 4 site as opposed to my home which is Bortle 6.

Equipment: Celestron AVX mount, Altair 66ED refractor, Altair 0.8x reducer/flattener, Altair 183C V2.

Capture: 60x60s, 20 darks, 100 bias, 100 flats.

Software: SharpCap 3.2, FITS Liberator (to inspect test frame), Astro Pixel Processor (calibration, registration, stacking, crop, colour calibration).

Capture settings were RAW12, gain 200, black level 30.
