Description

I've been enjoying adding Lum data to some ASI094MC colour images from recent years. It's a pleasure to get some good weather before the moon brightens.

This is reprocessed colour data from Jan 2018, blended with ASI1600 lum data from Oct 2019. Rather than using MaskedStretch within PixInsight on the colour data, I've had a bash using the ArcsinhStretch process.

The Tarantula nebula resides in the constellation of Dorado, the Dolphin.

I struggle to see a dolphin shape in the constellation, but do like dolphins.

Thanks for having a look.

CS, Jeff
