Description

Wide field capture late in observing session, target low to the horizon.

Camera is uncooled DS16c, so original image was 4640x3506 FIT. Same Panasonic sensor as ZWO 1600MC. Image processing in PixInsight, resampled and exported as jpeg for social media compatibility.

Description: Further processing with PixInsight. Finally a successful deconvolution. Further noise reduction and rectification of picture orientation. Noticed that the FOV includes three Messier objects -- M8, M20 and M21. Still pretty noisy after a lot of fiddling -- going to reshoot with my QHY183c when the skies (finally) clear... a bit smaller FOV but cooled so much less noisy.
