the pelican nebula (IC5070) 4H

[bitter crag]

First time using starX and it definitely works better than starnett. I didn’t manage to get the image I wanted since the workflow I used to love now is useless.
The image was taken at a ski resort which at 1800m above sea level and bortle 3/4 skies.

Modded 150pds // 533MC PRO // HEQ5 // OAG + 290mm // ASIAIR // EAF

So clean!

How do you get access to a ski resort overnight? Keep the bear bangers handy?

[bitter crag]

Thanks!! There’s a free access parking which makes a perfect spot for astroing

[reef sinew]

Ohh good find.

[bitter crag]

Bears “unfortunately” are no problem, here in Spain they’ve been hunted till near extinction

[bitter crag]

Absolutely, 15 min car drive

[reef sinew]

Ah that's sad. They're everywhere here in the Canadian Rockies along with cougars and such.

Like your rig shot there. Peace and quiet looking up. Can't beat it.

@bitter crag this data was soo good, didnt even take long to process! really loved them diffraction spikes at first, but like your comparison of Starnet and StarX, the diffraction spikes didnt get removed into the starmask, so they came out overly blue, but heres my 2 processes! SHO and a HOO sorta look

[bitter crag]

Love it! That blue color looks amazing

Give it a try to the data I uploaded of LDN914

at 20h is way cleaner
