normal kraken
So i was and am going crazy trying to get this Data in a state i actually like.
I am not too motivated to try longer on this atm, so here is my current result.
I had some data with a different rotation which resulted in some artifacts which i concidered to crop out, but i really wanted to include the galaxy cluster in the lower left of this image.
Whilst gathering this dataset ive actually lost interest in m82 fairly quickly and that little cluster kept me going on this.
I couldnt really archive my initial goal to capture the faint ifn around m82, although i think i was just beginning to see faint traces of it.
Unfortunately ive not been able to calibrate this data properly. This is most likely due to gradients caused by internal reflection of some reflecting surfaces inside of my imaging train.
I have hopefully now solved this issue, however i dont see any point in gathering more data on this object seeing that it (probably) was not my incompetence but the reflections making life hard here.
This data was captured over i think 16 nights with my Rc8 under Bortle 4 skies
Stacked/Drizzledx1 in Pixinsight and siril
Details:
HAlpha 224 x 300 sec 18h 40min
Lum 262 x 300 sec 21h 50min
R 51 x 300 sec 4h 15 min
G 56 x 300 sec 4h 40min
B 47 x 300 sec 3h 55min
adding up to over 50 hours of integration, which is the biggest dataset ive collected up till now.
