Description

Got a rare clear night in the Bay Area and I just picked up a HyperStar v3 on AstroMart for the EdgeHD11 project.  My polar alignment was kind of rough, but got a few targets in the sequence and thought it came out pretty good.  Very light post-processing:
  • WBPP
  • GraXpert
  • BXT
  • SPCC
  • GradientCorrection (on top of the GraXpert!)
  • EZ Auto Stretch
  • NXT
  • Crop

Enjoy!
