Description

I decided to take a break from galaxies and take in a planetary nebula. Abell 39 is a favorite and it was one of my first semi decent images I did with the old 6SE. I thought it would be fun to redo this with the EdgeHD 8 and mono camera. All in all I was happy with the result in spite of Pixinsight giving me some fits. The coordinates for this target with the image solve script appear to be wrong and I was unable to plate solve. As a result, SPCC was not used and I had to revert to the autocolor script.

Description: Playing with this old data and finally got SPCC to work. Not sure that it made a significant difference vs the autocolor script but at least it's now done the correct way.
