Description

I have been experimenting with achieving SHO-like results with a one-shot color camera using the Triad quad-band filter and shooting at f/2 with the RASA 8, all from extremely light polluted skies (Bortle 9). Through several methods using both Astro Pixel Processor and Pixinsight, I was able to extract a pretty amazing image from the data acquired. I was concerned about band-shifting using the Triad at f/2, but the results speak for themselves.
