WWF (that's work, weather, family) have kept me from my scopes for way too long. Which has made me very jealous of all the great posts I've been seeing lately. Here is, finally, a recent image. After so long, I seem to have forgotten much! I also think my camera connection to the telescope was askew; that plus some dust I just couldn't flatten out made processing a chore.
44x60seconds, SX MX716, William-Optics ZS66SD
Acquired, aligned and sigma combined in AA3
Postprocessing in PixInsight LE and AA3 (Robert Vanderbei's decon plug-in for final sharpening)
I've got to get out more!
Thanks for looking,
Larry

Larry,

If you produce images that nice just getting out once in a while, you do need to get out more....we need to see more of your work.

Very nice, Larry! Hope you can find time to image more. I've been feeling similarly lately.
