colimation was a little bad so some odd stars

[sharp blaze]

idk why the details are soft bruh

ur image scale is like 1arcsec/px bruh

the seeing shouldve been good

[placid acorn]

Bad collimation
Its also why the Stars at the Edge of the Field are square

[sharp blaze]

ohh

didnt noticed the square thing

lol

bro like

some stars are bloated

some are small

like its creating rings around the small one

on decon 💔 💔

[placid acorn]

Would u Like a blurx ed File @sharp blaze ?

[sharp blaze]

oh yeaa

😊

i jst got done with the non blurX version

[sharp blaze]

here it is

[placid acorn]

the colors are cool

[sharp blaze]

ikr

boosted the blue a bit and lowered the greens

for some reason SPCC aint working for me

so had to make do with PCC

[placid acorn]

same

[sharp blaze]

ig something is wrong with the file lol

cuz like siril crashed on me so many times 😭

[placid acorn]

mine almost crashed as well lol

[sharp blaze]

prolly too many stars in there?

[placid acorn]

that shouldnnt be an issue

[sharp blaze]

yea

prolly some in the fits header then?

should convert it to tiff then again to fits

should work that way ig

[placid acorn]

maybe

[sharp blaze]

yea it is the header lol

it has like wayyy too much rubbish bruh

[placid acorn]

its alright, just a little difficult

[sharp blaze]

ye

[placid acorn]

not happy with the colors, might try again tomorrow

[sharp blaze]

ig PCC would work fine too

[open jetty]

data so ahh its killing siril 🙏

[sharp blaze]

nahhh lol

[placid acorn]

lmaoo xD

[sharp blaze]

the data acc good lol

[open jetty]

thanks

apart from colimation im haoppy with it

my laser colimator wont work with this scope so im learning how to star colimate

[placid acorn]

theres a healthy amount of other small galaxies in the field, so i like it 😄

[sharp blaze]

ikr

ellipticals tho

[placid acorn]

doesnt matter

[open jetty]

i need to learn how to process lol i get my friend to process so i can post it on my tiktoks

[placid acorn]

lol

[sharp blaze]

its like lowk easy

i started jst a month ago

[open jetty]

i mean i can get a rough process but not great

[placid acorn]

its not that easy to get good results imo

[sharp blaze]

needs a bit of practice lol

i jst practiced on the data here lol

[open jetty]

im hoping to get some m106 data soon if anyone wants to try that

[placid acorn]

im on it. Im using my own data most of the time but after a while i get annoyed by seeing nnothing else

[open jetty]

i will put it on here probably around sunday bc its clear saturday

[placid acorn]

sure

[sharp blaze]

sounds great

[placid acorn]

u gonna try to get the scope collimated before u start imaging?

[open jetty]

i try to every night but it gets to a point where if i go the tiniest bit to far on the knobs it just goes triangular

[placid acorn]

Xd

[open jetty]

atleast m100 was more colimated than my m51 data

[sharp blaze]

man newts are so good bruh only if god didnt like nerfed it with collimation problems

💔

[open jetty]

yeah and then refractors are just expensive as hell lol

[sharp blaze]

frr

wayyy too expensive for not that much aperture

and heavy asf

[open jetty]

i do plan on getting an askar61f for a little travel rig +wide feild

[sharp blaze]

oh yea for like a travel rig i believe refractors are good

[open jetty]

yeah

[sharp blaze]

and i am pretty sure u wont see the sharpness issue in a widefield

[open jetty]

yeah

[chrome holly]

might try

[sharp blaze]

this is the blurX one right?

[placid acorn]

yes

[sharp blaze]

W

[chrome holly]

Thats some pretty cool shit

loved this data

fixed the bg

[viscid garden]

kinda a quick and dirty process

[chrome holly]

i'll probably process this again

[sharp blaze]

naww man

i forgot to process mb

I'll do it when I get home

[desert yoke]

this is what i was able to conjure up
