3rd session on this target, Adding more data is making a difference although it’s not as dramatic as yesterdays change, there’s still things that I’ve noticed in the post processing steps. The SPCC process in pixinsight is returing a more consistent result now with lots of green dots near to the average lines, I’m starting to understand that the when the dots are more of a scatter gun effect, it’s simply meaning that more data is needed to get a good clear result.

Second night on the eagle nebula. Now that I have 2 sessions, it’s getting better. More data means that the amount of noise is reduced, so the quality of the final image should be better.

This is a reprocess of the previous M13 image, I decided to try a different technique for processing and I think it’s given a much better output. The key things that I like from this reprocess is that you can see both the dark propeller slightly left of center, and the bright cross, just to the right of the propeller. The colours also pop much more than the original edit.
