Learning the hard way that just because the target you've selected is dim, I know that feeling, the stars are not! Excessively long, 3 minute exposure on LBN437 in the constellation of Lacerta, resulted in totally blown out stars and obviously no colour. Totally my fault and not that of the scope. This target ideally also needed a bit more overall time and some Ha data. Used were 120 subs at 3 minutes on pier 5 the Epsilon 180.
Steve has very kindly sent to me a few data sets from the EarlyBird collection, the first one I've massacred also appears below. It is actually M16 and assembled using my unique Pic'n Mix palette, where anything goes. I bet he now regrets sending me the other couple of sets, which for a small fee I'll not process and post.
I accept PayPal Steve.
Best wishes and take care everyone,
Ray

Hi Ray
This may sound obvious so excuse me if you have already but have you run the bayer matrix convert to colour for the data on Pier 5 as its greyscale to my eye rather than colour ?
Lots of detail in M16, unusual colour but thats the processers choice so no right or wrong

Please ignore my dylexia wherever possible, just be thankful I can control my Tourettes ;)

nice work Ray....you are right when processing faint stuff its really difficult to control the stars, but the anti-blooming gates will allow you to retain the colour. You might have lost it in the stack and debayer process.

Hi Gentleman and Steve,
Thank you for the feedback and kind words. The near greyscale look is down to desaturation of the image to try and lessen the effect of those stars. If you zoom in, but then why would anyone want to, you can see small pale blue and yellow stars. A boost in saturation follows. If you still think it's greyscale Steve, then might I respectfully suggest a visit to an opticians.
Edit:
Must have double tapped the Insert button as it's there twice. If you view it from the side Steve, you will now be able to test your stereoscopic vision at the same time.
Cheers guys,
Ray

Now that will teach me to look at an image on my spare uncalibrated monitor, you image is now on my main monitor and no longer greyscale LOl
Suitably chastised
However this does highlight the benefits of monitor calibration :)Now that will teach me to look at an image on my spare un calibrated monitor, you image is now on my main monitor and no longer greyscale LOl
Suitably chastised!

As a follow up is an image of LBN777 also taken using pier 5 but with 4 minute subs! Hopefully the second and last blunder on my part, and therefore the last image on this post.
Hope everyone is managing to cope with whatever situations you may be facing right now and things soon start to improve for you.
