M81 and M82 - SVX102 First Light

Revision title: M81 & M82 HaLRGB - With Decon

This is first light for my new Stellarvue SVX 102T. Just did a quick capture of M81 and M82, 10 frames ea RGB, and 25 frames Lum, all 120s long. Processed wholly in PI, and used StarXTerminator to pull out the stars, process the galaxies, then put the stars back in using PixelMath. There's a lot left to do on this target, but I'm happy with one night's worth of data, and noise reduction was much easier. So far I'm very happy with the SVX. Calibrated with darks only to remove amp glow from the 183's subs.

Description: I'm learning how to use Deconvolution, and used it on Lum and a little on the Ha, then used NBRGB Combination to add the Ha into the image.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
