Description

Finally had a few clear nights here in Detroit and took the time to keep testing out my ASI 2600 MC Pro for color data. I shot around 12 hours of data for this picture at first I was looking to compare Mono LRGB with OSC LPro and LExt data but in the end I just bundled it all together. The bottom line was I really couldn't tell the difference between the OSC and Mono data. I'm sure the mono data was a bit better quality but after calibration, integration and processing it was really hard to tell the two data sets apart (I couldn't decide which was better) so this final shot is an average of the two. I shot the OSC data with an ASKAR 200 mm and ASI 2600 MC Pro (with LPro and LExt filters) and the Mono with a WO Z61 and ASI 6200 MM Pro and ZWO filters RGBHa.

Total exposures were:

Askar 200 mm LPro - 300 s by 40
Askar 200 mm LExt - 14 by 600 s
Z61 - RGB - 10 by 300 s each
Z61 Ha 24 by 600 s
