Description

A bit of a new adventure. Don't really have the aperture to go the whole hog on this but curious what I could get with the usual setup (8" Newt, Astrodon 1.25" filters) and the addition of a few new bits (4x Powermate and ZWO ASI462MM camera). Lots of colour issues at the moment (filters perhaps) so spending some time correcting things in PixInsight.

Description: Found a way around the weird colour mix I was getting with the Astrodon filters (pink/maroon cloud bands). So instead of using colour masks (which seem to distort things a bit) I used pixel math to mix Green and Red in the Green channel (50/50) and Green and Blue (50/50) in the Blue channel. Moons came out a bit nicer as well so I left them in too.
