A quick six-panel mosaic of M42 region CCD: STC-7 RGB - 90 seconds stack of three for 270' total (stacked by the camera) Scope TMB 80 with TV 0.8 reducer for f/4.8 There is some problematic areas in the mosaic, due to residual Petzval Curve. Maxim D/L was used for most of the processing as well as the mosaic. Red streak - airplane? Enjoy, Tim
Looks gorgeous! Red streak probably isn't a plane - usually they have "dashes" due to blinking beacon light usually on tail or body, and 3 to 4 streaks due to wingtip lights, body lights. There's a couple green dashes in there as well.
Tim I would really be interested in playing around with some of your raw data sometime. Maybe you can upload some to Google drive and let me experiment? We have a bunch of cloudy days coming, and it would be nice to see before pulling the trigger.
Hi Ross, Cloudy days here also.... I have uploaded some data and will continue to upload more. The uplink is very slow. Will send you a PM to the Google drive area. Will have to verify the proper dark frames are available also. Best Regards, Tim
