The ASIair makes adding images to previous results pretty easy, and last night was a test of that process. Can you see a difference?

This image uses 85 subs over the course of 2 sessions 2 weeks apart. After Deep Sky Stacker did its evaluation thing, another 22 minutes integration were added to the original image (42.5 minutes total).

Constellation: Orion
Telescope: Astrotech 72mm ED/ AVX CGEM mount
Camera: ASI533 Pro w/ Optolong L-eNhance filter - ASIair
Image source: 85 images w/30 second exposure (42.5 minutes) , 0 darks
Date: 2/22/2024, 03/10/2024

Note: Bortle 7 skies

I feel like I am seeing more detail, deeper colour with the added 22 minutes. The horses chin is more discernible, for instance.
Binoculars; Celestron Skymaster 18-40 X 80 zoom, Bushnell7-15 X 35 zoom, a couple of older single speed Bushnells that ride around in the car for weather spotting clarification
Scopes; Tiny little Mak-Cass Celestron c90 spotter scope that lets me count the moons of Jupiter and with which I can see Saturns rings in Mickey Mouse phase
Old Meade 1000mm f/11 that was missing the finder scope and ring so I rigged one onto the barrel using duct tape and a bit of cardboard and that actually works and I can count the moons of Jupiter with this one too.
Meade 6" reflector,(really elderly), found at a yard sale, the tube is a bucket of rust and corroded mirror but the mount and tripod will be recoverable so hooray for that.
Cameras; Mamiya medium format 645 with a couple of polaroid backs and a series of wide angle to 50mm lenses
Konica-Minolta 35mm,Sony alpha dslr's, up to the a900 full frame, mostly got them used because I don't have much money.

Yes. I reworked the 42 minute image and will create a post with it. Thanks!
