Hi all,
I was able to do a first light with a new (used) ST-8E that I recently acquired on Amart. This is an RRGB of M16.
7 x 10 Min L (through an R filter) 1x1 Median
6 x 5 Min R 2x2 Median
4 x 5 Min G 2x2 Average
3 x 5 Min B 2x2 Median
This is a first of sorts: I acquired the L data on one night and the RGB data on another.
The color exposure times were dictated by conditions. I hope to gather more decent color data in the future, but I am very happy with the L. This raw color combine does not quite do the L data justice, but I'm happy for a first pass. I wonder what it will be like after proper color combining and some further processing.
Comments, questoins and suggestions always welcome.
