About this image

The SeeStar S50 delivered again for me this night whilst I was in the obs imaging Jupiter with the C14. This is M93 cropped from the full ASI462C sensor after processing in PI using OSC split RGB registration and recombination. It's another improved version for my Messier collection. My previous version was an R-SynthG-B image from March 2018, as I was never able to collect any Green data with the C14, as there was so little time when the target was above the observatory wall and the neighbour's tree line.
