About this image

Still working with the RC8. The native resolution with this scope is 0.489 arcsec/pixel resulting in an oversampled image. In my last image (M82) I applied Drizzle on a bin 1x1 image but found the image noisy and with lower SNR. Therefore with this target I binned 2x2 to avoid oversampling. Not really happy with the outcome but it is a very small and faint object. I have another larger target in the pipeline and will be interested to see the results of that one.
