Description

IC 405

First image using ASI294 MC Pro. Optolong 2" L-eNhance filter.

120 x 60s lights

60 bias

20 darks

20 flats

0 degrees

Gain: 110

Offset: ?

Stacked with DeepSkyStacker & processed & cropped in PS.

Have since learned that it is better to use a gain of 120 or 121 with this cam. Not sure about the offset. Have also learned that better results and easier processing can be achieved by taking dark flats - so that's on the agenda for next time. This seems a bit oversaturated/overstretched to me - perhaps changing the process next time around will make it easier to process.

Can't wait to use the 294 on other targets. Thanks for looking - and comments and criticisms are welcomed!
