Description

My first attempt at 1x1 at 2800mm. i finally collimated this scope and learned that is the reason it was never performing as well as it should have been.

i did bin my color 2x2 to save time and even at 2x2 the pixel scale is .45"/pix, also my color was unguided as i was having trouble in the process of switching over to my new laptop, programs just werent working right

my luminance i wanted to see if capturing at .227"/pixel was possible or worth it. it definitely seems possible to me. however, binning and then drizzling back to the native resolution is probably the route i will go with most galaxies. id just rather have more subs.

this edge11 is finally performing like it should, ive never seen data come from this scope looking so good.

let me know what you think, or if you have any thoughts
