hi friends,

o.k. here we are:
I have tried to kind of match the distorted and differently bended rgb files with the luminance result I have posted recently.
I had to this in photoshop,...it was hard,...but it worked fairly enough to present this l-rgb version here.

data:
luminance:
9"f/18 TMB Apo using televue big bralow
SXVF H36 - crop (as I told you less than 50% remained...it'S the files issue that I will have to solve with a decent flattener...

l = 18x4 minutes
7 dark frames
r,g,b 9"f/9 5x4 minutes each.
maxim color calibration:
r=1.3
g=0.8
b=1.1

this was trial and error stuff, since I will have to do a G2V star color balancing with the entire system...

Hi Dietmar,

This turned out great!You captured a ton of detail in this little guy.

Too bad about the curvature issue but this is so small an object it may appear better without all the other space around it grin
