Description

A totally wild night in the middle of an empty Bortle 2 field with a gasoline power generator and a car. And a portable EQ6-R Pro with this and that

The initial version has the stars removed via Starnet++ and later blended in much smaller stars from the 40 s exposures. I will, however, try an approach without removing the stars, and showing, how many of them are really visible and how bright they are in comparison with the nebula.

Description: I've played with this data countless times. However, this broadband project gave me trouble. The stars are so hefty and they are coming at me in great numbers! :)

This version has NO STAR REDUCTION, no star separation has been done.

Workflow:


  • -> CFA drizzle x2, learned it only lately for OSC processing

  • -> deconvolution

  • -> photometric calibration

  • -> stretch

  • -> a bit of PS

  • Not much, but I like it, there is a lot of stars though!
