Description

First image on revamped RH305 w/ SBIG 16803. Short subframe experiment to better understand system at f/3.8 with big pixels... Not bad a full resolution. Very little NR used. Did some selective sharpening on starless wavelet layers to try to get at edges of dark areas of spiral. Will have to refine that approach a bit more. All in all happy with the performance of this system. Thermal stability on an RH305 is a challenge. The main mirror is a huge, beautiful hunk of glass with a downside, but we'll live with it!
