Description

When I went outside I had a list of 5 objects that I want to try and image with my Astro-Tech AT6RC

Ritchey-Chretien Scope. I knew before I went outside that I would be racing the Moon rising. I looked around and 3 of the objects were not high enough in the sky yet. NGC 281 was high enough and in a good position. So I decided that I would image it. With all of that said please enjoy my most recent image of NGC 281.

Description: I've not been able to image. So I've used the time to reprocess some of my images mainly just to keep in practice with my processing. I completely reprocessed my image only this time I added a star masking procedure to my work flow. This procedure allowed me to bring out nebulosity detail without blowing out the star field like I did in the original image.
