I guess I could use a lot more data to reduce the amount of background noise reduction. This is the ASI2600MC with the TEC160 f11 fluorite doublet. A little more resolution here:

Nicely done...especially for one hour total! Fluorite is amazing, no?

Yes it is, I think f11 is helping a lot there. Also, the processing tools today are ridiculous.

Sorry this is 1.5 hours. I have a 1 hour galaxy coming next, and it doesn't look too bad compared to this actually.

Hey, nobody cares about your galaxy pictures, we want pictures of that scope!  smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

 

I'm always amazed at how good photos with recent CMOS chips look with what used to be so little integration time.

Can you detect it visually with your cool fluorite doublet?
