Description

Tried this target a few times in the past with my OSC camera and always it was a pleasure to work with however, this time I tried for the first time with a mono camera and shot in LRGB, with luminance both at 180secs and 60secs as, the core can be blown up at longer exposures and wanted to have enough data to try out the best.

 I ended up using both at the end. I did not over-stretch or over-saturated the images and tried to stay as close to what the data provided - although I did focus a lot on sharpening the image.
  Used my RedCat61 + ASI2600MM + Antlia 3nm filters.

  • RGB: 45 x 120secs each
  • Lum 180secs: 155
  • Lum 60secs: 65

 Processed with PI using the x2 drizzle and PS.
