I have tried my hand at this object with less than, let's say stellar results (bah duum bop;) This time I decided solve my glaring inadequacies by deluge of data. This was captured each night over the course of a week and a half. I had some obstacles to overcome. My first set of data was besieged by camera sag. I could not get that damn camera to fit snuggly within the compression ring. So out comes the pliers, problem solved. Next, I had trouble with getting automatic focusing to work with SGP. The sequences were abruptly ending mid sequence. I "solved"it by fiddling with the focus steps. It is the ugliest, zig zaggiest focus curve imaginable. But it worked. Finally, I struggled to get the SGP notifications to work. I ended up having to create a new gmail account to get that sucker going. Finally, after all the tweaking, fiddling and adjusting, wouldn't you know...high clouds. so this is the data set I ended up with.

Processing Process:

LRGB stacked in Pixinsight using BPP.

Star Alignment to Lum

Dynamic Crop to Lum saved process for RGB

RGB PROCESSING

R G B were Linear Fit to red.

Channel Combination RGB
