Mission to C2PU observatory (2). NGC 7662 - mix of normal exposure with 100ms lucky imaging

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

This is my second image of NGC 7662 from the 3 nights mission to the C2PU observatory with David Vernet and Serge Brunier. We tried to fix some reflection issues that we had noticed in our images.

I had the opportunity to try some DSO lucky imaging with the 1m deltagraph telescope.

I decided to image NGC 7662, with its shock waves and its extensions using normal exposures and then to make 100ms exposures with the QHY 600M to capture the details of the core (Velocicaptor

).

The large field is a mix of 15s Luminance and RGB (1h + 3 x 20mn) and 60s Luminance and RGB (2h10 + 3x 1h).

EDITED 18/12/2021 : we succeded in correcting all the reflections and flat issues. Reprocessed from scratch showing the IFN. ENJOY.

The lucky imaging has been colored with a 350x1s image taken by Serge with his Nikon D810A. I have stacked 44 000 images out of 72 000. You can see it on revision B here :

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
