This was a day or two after a super-bright full moon. I was getting blooming in the 10 minute Luminance star images so I then did some 5 minute Luminance images but still had a bit of blooming. Finally used manual debloom in Maxim DL to handle the problem. I need to re-shoot this during a new moon to see if more detail emerges. I had thought this object was more red but my earlier images are consistent with this image. I used ExCalibrator to try to set the "true color" of this latest image... Earlier images I took of this object showing that my latest image is an improvement over them: Film: http: //www.astroshow.com/astropho/eagle.htm |
