Notes: |
This is my result to re-image this blue object. See here for the first unfiltered attempt. This object is fairly faint, and using a red filter may not be the best tactic ... over the six days I imaged this field, I had a combination of smoke and fog, either terminating or compromising some of the imaging sessions. Of the six imaging days, only two were 'normal' for my location |
