Description

Despite bad seeing, full moon and a terrible tube seeing (due to too strong turned up dew heaters), I finally succeeded in my first exposure of Thor's Helmet. The 10 Micron mount again tracked the 1200mm perfectly without active guiding. After shooting, stacking and image processing I applied the tools from Topaz Labs (Denoise and Sharpen) to the image. I'm thrilled with what the software was able to get out of the rather blurry images.

Title: New color calibration in Pixinsight

Description: I worked about the data again. This time, I used the new SPCC tool in Pixinsight for color calibration. I build a new set of filter data in SPCC for my IDAS NB2 in combination with the IMX571c sensor. Works out nicely :)
