Description

I added more data to this image and reprocessed as I was still not completely happy with the results I was getting. I tweaked some settings in HDRComposition in Pixinsight and ended up with what I believe to be a much more natural looking image. Details are below:

Lights:

140 x 360s, ISO 800

60 x 60s, ISO 800

60 x 30s, ISO 800

70 x 10s, ISO 800

70 x 5s, ISO 800

65 darks, 100 flats, 300 bias

Equipment: Canon 450D, Explore Scientific ES80ED @ 384mm f/4.9, Televue 0.8X Reducer/Flattener, Hutech LPS D1, Orion Atlas EQ-G
