Since the weather is still not cooperating, I had another shot at reprocessing my IC 1395 image.

This new 2024 version, aside from using new modern tools such as BlurXterminator and NoiseXterminator, makes use of a different technique illustrated by Adam Block. The image was first rendered with an HOO palette, then SII data was added back with a yellow tint.

I really like this new output, the colours are quite rich and well balanced, especially compared to the older HOO and SHO versions.

IC 1396 in narrowband from London.

Shot over three nights in August, September and October, with almost 19 hours of acquisition.
First light for both my new  ASI2600MM and Chroma narrowband filters.

Yet another image found in my archives.

Rosette nebula in both HOO and SHO, Feb 2022.

Another shot from 2022

While backing up some data I found a few images in my archive that needed processing. Not the best shots, but I managed to get something out of it. This is from Dec 2022, 7 hours total exposure in narrowband (SHO + a colourised HSO to emulate natural colours).

A first glimpse of comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) from Box Hill.

Not terrible, considering I forgot my tripod home 🤦

After missing it the first time, the Aurora came back, visible even here in southern England.

I managed to grab an almost night long timelapse, with a few selected highlights.

I used the "revisions" mechanism to upload 3 different frames, but please check out the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z3GD9sv2nc]full timelapse[/url] as well.

Planetary season is starting again, and I got a new ASI678MC for the occasion.

Bit of a rushed shot, but quite happy about the results, given the planet wasn't too high yet, and seeing was terrible (as usual)

I also did a bit of Saturn during the same night, but it wasn't worth publishing.

The Sun in H-Alpha

First light for my new C11.

Really bad seeing, and still a lot to optimize and learn about my new setup, but it's already quite promising.

First light for my new C11. Really terrible seeing, and lots of things to still learn, but already much better results than my old C7 Mak.

Weather was mostly cloudy or veiled, but I managed to get a few clean frames between the clouds
