Description

This is some data that was gathered in the third week of September 2020. I had longer exposure data that I have previously posted, but wanted to compare this set of lights (36 x 120 sec).

Basically I wanted to do a softer stretch in PI and then process it there. I used PS to adjust the exposure. As this was imaged with my old trusty Canon 60D, there is some horizontal banding in the final stack, which I wrestled with, ha ha.

Calibrated with appropriate darks and flats, no bias frames.

I think the nebulosity in this version is better than my previous tries.

Thanks for looking.
