Description

Data captured by Frank Schmitz and processed by myself. Thanks Frank, that I could use your rawdata for this try :-)

A few days ago we had a discussion, what's the impact of different processing software for our results. As we both using the same scope now and Frank's results of M3 were very good (please hava also a look to https://astrob.in/338156/E/) we decided to make a small comparision between our workflows using Astro Pixel Processor and PixInsight. Note: I passed on the short exposures and used only the long time exposures here.

- Baader Planetarium L 31mm: 50x120" (gain: 139.00) -20C bin 1x1

- Baader Planetarium RGB 31mm: 150x10" (gain: 139.00) -20C bin 1x1

- Baader Planetarium RGB 31mm: 150x120" (gain: 139.00) -20C bin 1x1

- Integration Time: 6.7 hours
