Description

This is the standard Siril OSC Script processing. The image was cropped (much less aggressively than is seen in the other example) and edited lightly in Siril before being finished in Affinity Photo.  I will shoot more on this target and may reduce the exposure to 30 seconds to protect the core from overexposing.   Another 8 to 10 hours would be great but it probably won't happen.  Right now I only get about 3.5 hours on it before it is too low on the horizon. There's a Merdian flip in that window which eats another 15 to 20 minutes of acquisition time. Bottom line is I will try gather another 3 hours tonight if the weather holds and after tonight the clouds are coming and I may not get another chance this year.
