Description

Finally got a clear night after a month of rain. Despite major guiding issues (still learning the basics of guiding) I was able to get a couple hours of half-way decent data on the core of the Heart - testing out the FLT132, ASI2600, L-extreme combo. Integrated in APP, starless split RBG processing in PIX, then recombined SHO in PIX, and RGB stars added back in PS. Variations are different processing versions. Trying to bring out some subtle blue and the softer clouds, while maintaining a natural-looking palette.

Hope to do a good 6-8 hours on this when the skies finally clear.
