Description

Located in Canes Venatici

50x 300 with QHY183 (LUM) + 50x300 with QHY294C Pro (OSC)

May 18, 2021 through questionable skies

Process flow as per mastersofpixinsight.com workshop on DBE and TVGDenoise

The raw subs of this image were not great and the techniques provided above save the day for this image.

This is cropped to remove empty space as the FOV of both cameras is pretty large.

Note this is ALSO the first full test of using Kstars/INDI with some modifications to perform dual camera operation from a single instance of the program!

All LUM and OSC were shot at the same time and in an integrated manner with drizzle, meridian flip etc all being driven by the main scope/camera - details of how I did this are located in the INDI forum - search my name and you will find.
