NGC7023 Cooperation Dr. Franz Gruber and Oldwexi

[oldwexi]

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!

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.

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.
