M42 & Sh2-279

#1

Post by ic_1101 »

This is a reprocess from early 2020 as I have changed my workflow over the years. It was taken with the asi183mc Pro on the SVR102T.
Total time 4hrs 11min with 240 x 60sec, 60 x 10sec and 60 x 1sec subs. Thx for checking it out and your comments good or bad are always welcomed.

Thx for your kind comments guys.

Jim, I use APP for calibration and integration and PI for the rest of the processing.
