Description

These images represent my first ever electronically assisted astronomy (EAA) session. A few days after the session, I decided to go ahead and process the subs I got. I was blown away at what came out of just 56 minutes of integration time. I used a brand new ASI6200MC for this. I've used the 2600MC and 294MC on this scope with the same filter before and have never gotten this kind of result even with 8 to 10 times the integration time. In any case, my family really enjoyed the EAA session so it's something I intend to continue to do on marginal nights when I don't want to chase clouds. And who knows? Maybe I'll get some serviceable data out of it from time to time.

One noteworthy thing here, in the past when I've used OSCs on narrowband targets, I have to use some creative RGB extraction/combinations to get anything that looks like a SHO palette. All I did to the palette on this data was color calibrate it and use unlinked stretch. In the past, using the 2600MC and 294MC with this filter and this scope on this target, the initial result has been dominated by red.
