Description

Since there has been so much clear weather lately (/irony off), I thought I'd practice my image processing skills. I chose this object from the @Insight Observatory Starbase website. I'd never tried mono processing before, so I decided to start with a galaxy. I had access to HaLRGB raw images, which I processed from start to finish (even though there were already pre-integrated images available).

I learned a lot from this processing experience. I'm really starting to enjoy the world of mono imaging . This is the last final version of the image.

Optics: AG10 CDK F6.7 f=1665mm
Mount: SkyWatcher EQ8RH
Camera: ZWO ASI6200MM Pro
Filters: На 8x1800 sec, Lum 46x600 sec, Red 18x 600 sec, Green 17x600 sec, Blue 17x600 sec (20h 20m)
Observatory: Gemini Observatory, Lijiang, China
Imaging Dates: 2023-04-19 to 2023-04-26
All image acquired by @Alpha Zhang

I recommend Hans Zimmer's song Time for wandering around the picture. After all, it's about a galaxy that's 26 million light-years away. The Time is just like that
