Description

Found some "lost" data 😊! Or is it more like 🤔, or even 😢? Well, when doing my backup for all the recent processing sessions I stumbled over these a bit older data, which sounds on first sight nice, especially now in the middle of Florida monsoon time. But then I remembered, this and a few others at that time lead me to the conclusion that LRGB images are just not made for my backyard. Agreed, not enough integration time for this target, but the raw images looked so awful that I did not want to spend more time on this. The gradients in the images were excruciatingly bad, maybe the worst I have ever seen (hence the heavy crop), but it always seems like that when looking at LRGB data from the backyard. And to top it off, the flats were somehow not matching, I must have twisted the camera angle when taking them, now that was another "adventure". Well, I spent now quite some time on processing, and decided that this was it, just barely scratched from my point of view the posting tolerance level. Not many details to see when zooming in, even BXT is not a miracle tool I had to find out 😊. So decision was done at that time, LRGB will be taken seriously when being at dark spots, makes me actually excited, definitely something to look forward to. And when the Milky Way is out and about, hey, so many NB targets to go for 😊. Was shorter break than I thought posting something, but hey, I will not complaint about this 😊. Enjoy life!!
