Comments: |
Eighteen ST-10 subs, each 8 mins long,
median combined in sets of three. Medians summed, save as 32
bit. CCDStack used for DDP and for 50 iterate PC deconvolution
Six XCM subs, each 10 mins long, calibrated
in CCDOps, color converted in Maxim and mdeian combined in two
sets of three. Medians summed. 50% DDP applied in Maxim. Luminance
and colorizing image registered in Registar, final HaRGB image
assembled in CCDStack |
