Description

Eagerly awaiting start of my second season in Aug/Sept when dark returns here at 60°N. I couldn't wait though to test my new equipment (GEM45 and FSQ106) so I managed to get 3h under "civil dark". No ambition for the nebula or the SN quality but I was so curious about the quality of the stars! I use Photoshop and  StarExterminator. On the star only layer, I increased intensity, decreased contrast, decreased gamma and increased saturation. Gentle adjustments everywhere. To my inexperienced eyes, the stars look very nice - much less CA than with the RedCat51 even.
