I think this this is the longest amount of time I have worked on an image ! Started getting the data on 8th June finished on the 17th July.
Six nights (or is it seven ?) getting two or three hours a night - then had to bin some due to clouds etc
Ha 48 x 300
Sii 56 x 300
Oiii 42 x 300
= 12 hrs 10 min
Have ongoing problems with the mount turning itself off during the meridian flip ... thought i had tracked this down to a dodgy power cable , but it still doing it so will have to continue to work through
Processing was very challenging due to horrible gradients in the Oiii plus the stars aren't great. I recently watched a Youtube video on how to get a round stars with a fast Newtonian Astrograph ... of the seven issues identified i have got about three nailed lol
Anyway i like the colours on this and it is deffo my best Tulip so far
