Description

After a little more than a week at DSP Remote, I have completed my second narrowband image! 

I finished modifying my NINA advanced sequencer template to trap safety monitor roof closing events.  Now all I need to do is add targets for the night, then press start.  My equipment utilization has skyrocketed!  Next step is to incorporate the Target Scheduler plugin for even more automation.

For this composition, starless dynamic SHO and RGB were screen blended, then RGB stars were screen blended into the SHO+RGB starless image.  A portrait orientation was chosen to make it appear the Crescent is moving upwards.
