NGC7023 Cooperation Dr. Franz Gruber and Oldwexi
« on: 2011 September 06 11:50:45 »
Find attached an image of NGC7023.
This image is a cooperation between Dr. Franz Gruber and me.
We are both happy PixInsight users.

Franz did all the imaging with his equipment and also the
calibration/registration/stacking with PixInsight.
The final image processing with PixInsight was done by me.
The new video tutorial available since a few days was a very big help in that!

Technical data:
Astrophysics Refractor 5", F6, FL 780mm
SBIG ST11K monochrome
Baader R,G,B Filter
Exposures:
R 54x5 min
G 53x5 min
B 47x5 min
Total exposure 12 hours 50 minutes
Location: A-2823 Pitten : Lng = 16.1830 E  Lat = 47.7170 N
                          in the garden of Dr. Franz Gruber.

The weather in the 4th week of August was perfect here in Austria.
Very low humidity and absolutely no clouds at all.
So we had a great time with astroimaging these days.

Gerald and Franz Gruber

Very nice! That target was one of the first I ever tried in PI. Let's just say I learned a lot. Juan ended up doing a full processing example with the image.
Best,
