Description

Dark skies doth make a difference!

Last night I had the opportunity to meet up with elmiko for some remote imaging. It was a pleasure to meet Mike and the rest of the group. Even though the target was fairly low, I could not resist taking a stab at the IC 4603 region of Rho Ophiuchi. Given the limited time, I was only able to capture RGB channels. I did create a synthetic luminance channel using a technique I found by Shawn Neilson on Visible Dark and incorporated it during processing.

I really enjoyed imaging with some likeminded astro enthusiasts and look forward to future sessions. On a side note, Mike's wife made some chocolate cupcakes that were to die for!

Description: Cloudy skies continue to persist so I thought I play with some old data using some of the new gradient correction, BXT, SPCC, etc. that did not exist (or I didn't know how to use) during my first attempt.
