Description

Continuing on from this beautiful region of the sky in the Rho Ophiucus region. Gain 0. 90 x 3 minute subs. I shot 40 x 3 minute subs with my dual band filter but something went wrong? I had bands of pink across the top and bottom of the sensor which were to dominate to remove in post. I had to go without this data. I've never seen this before, welcome to suggestions of what may have caused this to happen. As it turns out there seemed to be enough color in the red with the hyperstar not to really need it. Perhaps it may have revealed extra detail? can always add it later.

I am now thinking of purchasing a field flattner for my 242 mm SkyWatcher Evoguide 50ED. Not sure my QHY 294C is going to cut it in the pixel scale range with this scope? May have to buy another camera. Looking forward to getting the whole region in one field of view.
