Description

This is my 1st draft after 8 hrs of integration. I decided to image M94 with my WO FL156 at its native effective focal length of 1240 mm. I love this OTA. And M94 doesn't disappoint either. I shot this with NINA and processed with Pixinsight: GradientCorrection, ColourCalibration, BlurXterminator, NoiseXterminator, StarXterminator, HistogramTransformation, various Curves, Masks, HDRMT, DarkStructureEnhance, and MLT Sharpening. Touched up a little with Lightroom brushes.
