Description

The most horrible processing this year so far. The bloated stars are stemming from the lum subs in 04/13/2020, in that night I lost all but the lum data most probably due to a major temp shift and the resulting lost focus. With the resulting stars in RGB I was not even able to register the subs regardless how I did relax the parameters. In the first night I caught a horrible gradient because moon was more than 50% illuminated. This is the best outcome I can achive with the data out of that two nights. It is not the best image ever done but it is not worth to skip all the effort on the other hand.

Here is my first attempt on M94 with the 10" LX 200 and a modded Canon 70D.
