Captured this image last month. With a nice wide-field setup like the RC51 on an APS-C sensor gives, getting both the Heart and Soul in one frame was definitely a must-do for me! I’ll be interested to see the improvement when I image these again with a camera more sensitive to Ha.
7h 24m total exposure (111x 240s subs)
Equipment:
* William Optics Redcat 51
* Cannon T7i (unmodified)
* Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro
Processing in PixInsight:
* WBPP
* Gradient removal
* SPCC
* NoiseXTerminator + BlurXTerminator + StarXTerminator
* Statistical stretch
* Curves transformation for brightness, contrast, and chrominance
* Local histogram equalization
* Stars stretched separately and re-combined
