I combined 2 years of data for this image.

http://www.astrophotogallery.org/floyd-s-pics/p13582-merlotte-15-lrgb.html

First set of 10 minute RGB was taken 11/2012 and the second set of 8 min subs taken 11/2015 which included Luminance.

The TEC140 was used with both the TEC field flattener and AP 27TVP reducer to produce the image. I used the images taken with the flattener @ F/7.2 for the base to give the field of view shown.

Processing was done in CS5 and CCDStack.

Total subs

L=18 x 8 min

R= 49 x 8 & 10 min (Combination of 8 & 10 minutes subs for a total of 49 each filter)

G= 49 x 8 & 10 min

B= 49 x 8 & 10 min



Hope you like it. smile
