M48/NGC 2548 - LRGB

Dear Friends (and Seanie),

The sky finally cleared last night and the 92% humidity led to some incredible seeing which ranged from 1.8-1.9" (FWHM) at the beginning of the session and got down to 1.52" a few hours thereafter.

I am happy to present you with my first hit from last night, the beautiful open cluster M48 in Hydra. To this end, I kindly direct you to:

The transparency could have been better but the really good seeing was something else!

Clear skies!

Dear Friends (and Seanie),...

Not again...! :lol:

It's crap Anthony, I don't like it...

Hehhehe, finally a picture of my buddy Seanie!

I knew you wouldn't like it ... you are one tough dude to please. Just wait next weekend with some red object gracing the skies for about 75 minutes.

Picture Perfect!

It's crap Anthony, I don't like it...

Yeah I know!!
Seriously;

Anthony: That is one hell of an image. It's like a jewel box full of treasure!! Wonderful!!

Anthony looking at the details I see a couple of things which interest me. Firstly I see yo don't bin your RGB channels. Thats interesting cause I tried binning and it just doesnt seem to work. It seems to me at least that there is no way round making the RGB the same length as your luminance. I also notice you used 3 x 10min for L and 6 x 5 min for RGB was there some deep meaningful reason why you just didnt repeat 3 x 10 min for the RGB?
