Hi all,
After shooting the RGB for M13 last night I decided too shoot some Ha on The Eagle.Seeing was just lousy all night but improved a little towards the late morning.After watching the first couple subs download I thought I may be wasting my time trying to image!
I ended up with 600sx19 of 6nm Ha.
The subs ranged from 5.5-7.5 FWHM
Needless to say but the initial combine looked extremely soft 8O
I applied 55 iterations of Positive Constraint deconvolution in CCDStack which helped immensely with the star sizes and higher signal areas of the nebula.
Shadow/highlight tool in Photoshop along with some more selective sharpening,star bloat work and a little curve to top it off.
It actually came out better than I was even hoping for so I'm pretty happy with it,though I sure wish the seeing would have been better on this completely cloud free night.
Maybe some LRGB tonight,looks fairly clear but very windy.
Uncropped and downsized to 60%
