Description

Hyperstar on 8" Edge HD.  Subs taken at higher altitude than previous efforts.  Big lesson learned on channel management for star color and shape.  Big lesson learned in curves for pushing another color other than red late in processing with blue channel.  Have to remember to go with deconvolution almost always for stars.  It can be done late in non linear as opposed to most videos on internet seen thus far.  Continued to use same flat frame for calibration - 18-20 ADU working the best for hyperstar setup.
