Reprocessed this image with the help of BeanBag Racer. Thank you. I used pixinsight, noisex, blurx and starx. Would love to get some feedback.

Great image, it looks like it's got a lot of untapped potential! Can you share the data? I'd like a crack at it!

Framing is a bit odd, but the only gripe I have is the focus is very off.

fervent peak
#

Yeah it was

#

I can't fine tune focus, it was the best I could get

You should invest in an EAF, and a coma corrector when you have the ability to.

#

The EAF will allow you to automatically focus based on FWHM averages vs a roughstimate via sharpness

#

The coma corrector should go without saying, and it might be that your collimation is off slightly.

#

Overall its actually pretty decent

It's a shitty 4" visual scope with the primary mirror pushed

#

Isn't any real calibration issues beyond field wonkiness

fervent peak
#

Yeahh it'll do for now

Not really worth sharing, my processing technique doesnt really work on this data very well, since I go for naturalized color, it comes out bland
