Description

Had a few clear nights recently when I was imaging first SH2 308 (dolphin head) and later this NGC3576 Statue of Liberty Neb. Have a fair bit more data to gather before worth trying to process SH2 308 so first up it's NGC3576.

Using my Riccardi Flat 1 here so 780mm FL and F6 on my APM 130.

Increasingly happy with my new iOptron CEM120. Often running total RMS of just 0.5 arc sec and delivering nice results for 10min guided exposures as here.

Stacked in APP saving out the separate SHO as unstretched files for processing in Startools, but also combined in APP as an RGB Tif as well. Combined and processed APP stack layers in Startools and then selective blending with APP Tif result to taste in PS... most of the end result is from Startools.

perhaps not as pushed in terms of contrast and saturation as I've been doing of late, but deliberately so to try and retain faint detail. Probably still over doing it a bit.
