Description

Good friend Julian R lent me his OS Veloce RH and QSI 6120 camera. Andromeda is only a 4 panel mosaic with this set up compared to 32 panes with my gear. So a big thanks to you Julian.

Hopefully we'll get a few more clear nights to gather more subs on this. Only 3 hour per panel atm.

Description: C: 4 panel RGB still to add the luninance.

E

Description: E: A blend of the original and a newer process that had less colour but more dust.

I

Description: Added another 5 hours on the 8th and 10th of October. These allowed me to chuck out the poorest frames from the earlier images. Hopefully I'll continue to add to this.

J

Description: Reduced the core colour and gave the rest a boost.

K

Description: Finally added the 90minutes of Ha per panel, also got to play with the windows 10 version of Pixinsight and it's new features. My old Atik 314l's driver worked on windows 7 so never upgraded. Only a subtle process. The ha isn't in your face, messed up the core though but I like the galaxy as a whole.

L

Description: Added in the Ha a little stronger. I Never ran the HDR Composition script though, as this was exposing the saturated blob in the central core.

M

Description: Reprocessed this from scratch. Better colour and a better core. RC Astro's Gizmo's, Arcsign stretch for the initial move to non linear. Then GHS produced a bit more dust. Pleased with the outcome and worth the 2 days to process again.
