Description

Nothing to see here just a screenshot of my test of PixInsight's new FastIntegration process. 7200 x 1 second subs of M81 at a FL of 1048 at F5.2 (RC8 with APEX-L)

The image has not been processed and is the raw output.   The image is still a little rough so I will be culling the bad images and producing regular integration with local normalization. Great for prototyping until we get more rejection options (after re-reading the manual  I realize how the process works and I have to work on my capture techniques and tweak the settings ).  This was done at my diffraction limit and in Bortle 8 skies!

Kudos to the PixInsight team for making this happen!

Not bad and I look forward to more fast imaging
