Description

A new post processing technique to bring out more colours. Not sure if i like the results or not yet

Had some general trouble with this capture because i switched to using an in-situ laptop controlled by Teamviewer instead of a long USB cable. All seemed ok apart from my focuser which had reset some of its calibration so it thought it was at zero position instead of near 88,000, thankfully the previous focus had not changed and was sort of spot on. Also moon was bright and high so that got in the way a bit. But ... as this was to sort out the various issues with the setup (i.e. focuser, and also laptop screen leaking lots of light on initial target) i am overall happy with the capture process
