I traveled to dark skies this week. Although it was bitter cold (14degrees F) I was rewarded with beautifully clear and eventually (as the night progressed) steady skies. My first subject was the Flaming Star nebula. I shot RGB all binned 1x1 at F7 thru a TEC140. The first photo has no processing at all other than averaging the subs and then combining them in AstroArt 4.0. No darks, no bias, no flats, no log stretch, no increased saturation.....no nothing.
RGB 40:40:50 ( 5 min subs for R and G, 10 min subs for B)
