Description

While I'm happy with the colors, I didn't quite accomplish all that I wanted to accomplish with this one. It's just a tough target. I've investigated my raw data thoroughly, (and stacked them in both DSS and APP), but the detail I was trying to capture simply wasn't captured. My guess is that - for truly dim targets - the first generation high speed filters are simply too wide for skies as bright as mine and the shallow fullwell of the 12-bit IMX183 sensor doesn't allow for sufficient gradation of extremely dim targets (even with over 200 subs). I really need to break out the new camera and filters... On the plus side, it is much better than my first attempt at this target.
