Fifteen ST-10 8 min subs. Custom Scientific luminance filter used on each sub. Subs median combined in sets of three in Maxim. 100 iterate PC deconvolution performed in CCDStack. Deconvolved medians averaged in Maxim. Average DDP/sharpened in CCDStack Six XCM subs, each 10 mins long, calibrated in CCDOps, color converted in Maxim and summed. Luminance filter in front of XCM. Saturation of sum upped 20%, 16-bit FITS file saved as RGB colorizing image. Luminance and colorizing image registered in Registar, final LRGB assembly in Corel's PhotoPaint 12 using LAB |
