Description

This is First Light with the QSI683wsg8. It seems that this old sensor is still one of the best out there, in terms of sensor and pixel size :-)

The stacked image was smooth enough to allow sharpening and contrast enchantments in PixInsight, as well as minor noise treatment using TopazLabs Noise AI. I will try to blend this data with older RGB data at some time.
