Description

Here is the LRGB Version of my NGC 1499 from last night. Still trying to get used to the RGB workflow. Also registration / distortion correction was a bit off with the blue channel, somehow the bigger stars are bigger than with the canon and not so sharp but I blame my collimation / focusing on it ;) Strange little beast this ASI, produced 12 gig of data for that target...
