Description

This was an experiment. The last clear night we had I used 2 scopes to capture the same object the Iris Nebula and combined them in PixInsight. I calibrated them separately and then aligned them on the same image.

Drizzeld, ABE- I set box sep at 20 and get good results, BN, Color Cal, Decon using PSF from PSFimage script, MLT, HT, TGV, HDR Multi, Local Hist Eq, Curves, trying to denoise without destroying the dust was fustrating.

87 images @ 120"with an Altair 269C hypercam on an Orion ED102T-CF with SV .8 102 reducer 571mm f5.6,

Mounted on a EQ6R-Pro, Astromania 70mm guide with ASI120

40 images @ 180" with a ZWO1600MC-C on an Orion ED80T-CF with an Orion Variable flattener 480mm f6.
