Description

One hour per channel of RGB of M82 taken with a TS ONTC 10" Newt, QSI6120 camera, and all frames were completely unguided using APCC Pro and its APPM tracking model. Very low integration here, and I did not get any HA to make the center of the cigar really pop. I might work on this some more.
