M92

This is the first time I have imaged M92. it really should be a more popular target, but I have heard that before too.

This is an LRGB processing (13:13:13:11x1min subs) with a "DDP" on the L channel in Astroart. Way different than what I did with M13. I think I like this one better, but some of the stars look overprocessed (which is what I usually don't like about DDP). Should I try this on M13? Not too hard at this point.

And what target(s) should I aim at in the next few evenings if it is clear? More globs? More data on 13 and 92? Maybe see if M101 fits? (Another one not done at FLC.)

Thanks for looking.

Charlie

Nice, but yes, stars seem a little "overprocessed" indeed!
This is a nice glob though, should be more popular... 8)

Keep up the good work!
