Description

Scope: Redcat 51
Camera: ASI071MC-Cool
Guide: ASIAIR Plus
Mount: AM5
Time: 6h 25'
Post: APP, Photoshop (StarXterminator, NoiseXterminator, AstoFlatsPro, TK Luminosity Mask)
Post Processing Process: I created a starless copy of the image so I could process the galaxy without distorting star colors. In the original image I masked out all but the brightest of stars. I blended the two to get an image with a much reduced number of stars so that the galaxy detail was more visible.
