Description

I think I threw everything I had at this target just experimenting with what works well.  It took me a while to find some clear skies to acquire all the data that I wanted for this target. I captured all narrowband data with the asi294mm and the Apertura 72. Star data was captured with the D800. Had some trouble guiding during my stars panel due to a slipping dec axis. I tightened it up but didn't go back out to shoot the stars, kept what I had so the stars are a bit wonky.  I blended the narrowband channels individually with the separated out D800 channels (RGB) to make a "master" - relabeled them accordingly and blended in PS, this gives me a much larger palette to work with.  I added a layer of Rokinon 135mm f/2 data to the L panel with Ha data and that works well - there is some tilt I've been seeing not just in my images but with images shot with the Rokinon/Samyang 135mm throughout the site. I'm thinking about getting a tilt adjuster. Let me know if those work well and are easy enough to use.
