Description

First light with the Takahashi! The recent subpar conditions in my area (intermittent clouds, poor to average seeing, moonlight, neighbor's security lights!) and eagerness to photograph with this scope led me to throw together an OSC with Optolong's L-Ultimate dual-3nm filter. I was stoked on the results!

This photo also represents the first time I've been able to go through the entire pre/post processing workflow solely using PixInsight. Also, jumping on the BlurXTerminator/BXT bandwagon, this process was applied while the image was linear and prior to any de-noising and DBE.

Shout to out Adam Block and his superb online tutorials, which have resulted in many recent "ah-ha!" moments. I'm still learning a ton, and it's getting more fun each week.
