Description

My widefield image in months. I had to send the 106 to Tak NA for check-up on collimation and around the same time I sent my Edge. They tested and fixed the collimation with and without the reducer and I am noticing improvements.

I have since made adjustments to the train:
1) Flip the blue filter as without flipping there was a smudge of blue gradient in the stacked image. Looking back, I had this problem all along and thought it was gradient that DBE will somehow take care of it, haha
2) Go back to guidescope as the OAG reflections at random targets was giving me fits and I was sick of not knowing if the stacked image will be clean or have reflections

Re-ran filter offsets and felt the data was good enough to make a color image. 

This was a test subject in LRGB and each channel was 7x10 minute subs in Readout Mode 3 Gain 0.

Hope you like this result. Clear skies!
