Discussion in the
GHS Group about the proper use of BlurXterminator, after stretching... seems to be a clipping of dark pixels with BlurX that I did not notice before. This was first discussed in the previous image I processed, the Splinter. Here I confirmed the finding. I also processed it similar ly to the Splinter with BlurX after the GHS stertch then NoiseX to clean it up. Might have been able to stretch it more... will see what the GHS crew says.
Also tested exposure length for the ASI-6200 and 40s was superior to 60s in terms of star count. Need to replicate.
From Wikipedia:
NGC 5033 is an inclined
spiral galaxy located in the constellation
Canes Venatici. Distance estimates vary from between 38 and 60 million [url=mw-redirect=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_years]light years[/url] from the
Milky Way. The galaxy has a very bright nucleus and a relatively faint disk. Significant warping is visible in the southern half of the disk. The galaxy's relatively large angular size and relatively high surface brightness make it an object that can be viewed and imaged by amateur astronomers. The galaxy's location relatively near
Earth and its
active galactic nucleus make it a commonly studied object for professional astronomers.Three
supernovae have been observed in NGC 5033: SN 1950C (type unknown, mag. 16.6),=reference
[3] SN 1985L (
Type II, mag. 12.5),=reference
[4] and SN 2001gd (type IIb, mag. 16.5).=reference
