Description

By folllowing this discussion, i got curious how it feels like to work with real good data. From my experience with this data, i can tell, that it makes a HUGE difference, at least for me. Restricted by place, budget und a lack of skills, i will most probably never be able to produce data of this quality, but on the other hand i do not consider this picture as part of "my collection", since i missed the important part of data aquisition. I will definitely stay with collecting own data with my far less than perfect equipment in my light plagued place, producing average pictures but gladly doing all on my own. (But i love to see all kind of pictures here at AB)

The data is free data from Deep Sky West.
