Description

Trying out the new tighter UV cut of the Astronomik Deep-Sky blue filter versus the Optolong. On top of that testing new gain/clamping settings after hacking Windows to get 64-bit NINA to play nicely with an old ASCOM driver. I wasn't sure it would be stable away from the test-bench and if the clamping problems with the ABG were better/worse/etc on a saturated star like gamma-Cas
I only got around 4-5 subs from each channel before rain arrived but combined it anyway and had a play to see what it would look like.
Not too bad all around for so little data.

Title: Some additional LRGB and some iffy Ha for a L(HaR)GB image

Description: Managed to add a bit more data over 3 nights including some Ha in pretty poor conditions of wind and cloud. Only doubled my RGB sub count after throwing away quite a few. Hope to get enough subs eventually to drizzle to help out the star-shapes but until then....
