Description

Taken from a red zone. First light with STF 8300c. Realize I need spacers for the FF/FR. Having some difficulty with image artifacts that did not process out. for example, hot pixels and a flare or meteor. It also appears that 10 minutes is too long as my stars are clipped. There is very little color left in the stars. Nebulosity is not as intuitive an image acquisition program as BYEOS was and I had a hard time reading the histogram. Lastly, I find that the background seems to look clipped when uploading to astrobin. It never appears as dark in PS or PI.

Second edition is from an image stacked in DSS (as opposed to preprocessing in PI). It did a better job of getting artifacts and hot pixels out. I also left the background with less noise reduction as the noise reduction seemed to make the background blotchy.
