Description

There was finally a gap in the clouds that involved a sky without an overbearing moon!  I took this opportunity to collect some data on my favorite galaxy, while testing the autofocus setup at the same time.  There are still some backlash kinks to work out in my NINA settings, but all in all, it's working as it should... 80% of the time. 😅

There are some satellite trails that did not calibrate out in the luminance data.  I've never had this happen in PixInsight before.  Also, the conditions got noticeably worse during acquisition of the green data.  The guiding was significantly rougher and the stars a tad more bloated.

Description: I tried some new methods of denoise, and I like how it turned out.
