Description

Finally after four sleepless nights and a long struggle with cables, power and software reloading, I was able to capture the Heart and Soul in a single frame with a modified Canon 6D and an Apertura 60ED FPL53 doublet.  This used the ZWO Duoband filter.  The clouds moved in around midnight and I had to call it, and the star shapes are a bit wonky--maybe the adjustable field flattener is not set exactly right or PE in the mount??

Title: Reprocessed using Siril instead of APP

Description: I thought I might give Siril a try. The work flow will take some getting used to, but it is fast and clean.

Title: New Revision additional light frames

Description: In spite of the windy conditions I was able to get a few more frames in last night, and reprocessed everything with APP. SIRIL did yield better noise reduction, but I did not like the colors. This is with 5 additional 300 second light frames. Same calibration files.
