After more than 4 weeks of bad weather and cloudy nights it looked like I would have a chance for some imaging.
Conditions were harsh, strong moon, transparency not good as well. Starting with Three Point Polar Alignment I recognised it will be challenging as the solver had quite issues this night and i needed to up the exposure time quite a lot.
Sadly my joy was quite short when the fog showed up and I got alerted that the guide star was lost. Still happy that I got something and the ice on the scope and mount looked somehow cool
.
A first version of that data is uploaded to my telescopius account as in the meanwhile BlurXTerminator was released I tried something new.
After deconvoltion using BlurXTerminator I removed the Starts (normally I do that in non lineare state) and splitt that imgae into R, G and B.
With some pixelmath I created a ForaxX Palette Image (
PixInsight : Dynamic narrowband combinations with PixelMath (thecoldestnights.com)), streched the Ha, OIII and artifiacal dycnamic Channel using GHS, combined back into an RGB Image, applied a bit of curves. Strechted the Stars (RGB Version) and put them back into the Image.
Let me know what you do think about the result. For roughly 2hrs of integration time I think it is quite OK.
