version 2 added with almost twice the data added,


looks alot better, now really starting to enjoy the new scope and guiding problems seem to have vanished now i`ve moved the weights up the balance bar alittle,


had 10 minute guided subs last night without a single problem, well one i did 20 minutes worth of lum subs before i realised that the autosaved tick box in artimis capture software wasn`t ticked, school boy error.


as it was late at night i don`t think anyone heard me cursing.

version 3 now added, another 1 hour 20 minutes of lum and 20 minutes each of RGB 2x2 binned.


added the extra 20 minutes of the blue channel and i ended up with alot of colour noise, anyone have any idea why that is ? the red and green channels where fine but blue looked very blotchy.

Looking lovely rob. Great to see extra detail and smoothness added each time. You'll have to get some hydrogen alpha in to show those fancy star forming regions.

Great work.

i`m finding it very interesting how the green channel changes and more blue comes through with the added exposures each time and a great learning exercise,

tinkered with the Lum layer a bit more in version 3, i think it brings out alot more detail,
