hi all,
About a week ago I imaged m1 with my mewlon250 at f9 and st10xme using a red CS filter 60 minutes with 5 min subs. In the past I had imaged it with a Vixen VC200L at f9 and a st8e, 40 mins with 5 min subs and had some old (poor) color data taken with the Mewlon and st8e 10 min each channel (2x2 binning).
The resizing and aligmnent of the images was done automatically in MaximDL ver4.The combined R+L was deconvolved in CCDSharp ( 2 iterations) The rgb combine and combining of the R and lum frames was also dome in MaximDl. The (R+L)rgb combine was done in PaintshopPro. The final tiff file was selectively high pass filtered and unsharpmasked in MaximDL so only the pixel values of the tiff ranging from 25000 to 65000 were processed.
I still want to get some better color date and more Red data, but here is the result so far.
clear skies,
Larry Citro
