Weather and life reduced the amount of time I was able to spend on AP (and commenting on some of the great images posted here...sorry). But recently I was able to image a star field with two galaxies (and some fainties) over two nights.
Didn't turn I out the way I wanted but it was still a bit cloudy at times and I got more correlated noise than usual. Not much detail in Sauron's eye but surprisingly much in the small NGC 4156 next to it. I struggled with right amount of stretch. Bringing out more faint stuff or rather reducing noise...? Guess we are all familiar with the issue...
Nice result Stefan and again very nice coloring. The image is balanced imho, i like it.
Weather is awfull...it has been ages since i could image. i write this post while the rain is really hitting my window next to me.
Glad at least you could get some clear skies!
Thanks, Freddy! And yes, I also heared the noise of rain hitting the window quite often lately. But the cloud cover since January is even more annoying. Let's hope for the best.
