Description

I am pleased to have been able to have produced this image, although I had such a small amount of data, poor data really, for RGB, especially the blue, that it was a bit of a struggle. The stars on the edges of the field are not quite right, although I am not sure why. There may be a back focus or focuser tilt issue here. The sky was somewhat difficult as well. Anyway, with my murmuring over with, I am looking forward to my next clear night - which might be today! This image was 142 luminances, 24 reds, 19 greens and 24 blues, which equals an imaging time of 3hours and 29 minutes, each sub being 1 minute in length. I used the 130EDT refractor at the native f7, along with the ASI 294MM. Take care everyone...
