Description

Back in January 2020, I had a bit of credit left with Chilescope and was curious to see how much of SN1987A could be resolved with their 1m RC at F6.8 (it's the tiny ring structure, smack bang in the middle of the frame, nestled on between two stars).
I only got 3 subs, 600" each, in red, blue and sloan for ... reasons? Can't remember, don't ask me, I was just having fun ... 

Calibration back then was done quick, and today I just took these 3 old files and applied the workflow enabling BlurX, NoiseX and StarX plugins.

Details in the nebulosities are simply delightful in places!
