Hi all, something for a rainy saturday.
Early last week collected color and lum data on NGC660, a spectacular
colliding galaxy pair in Pisces. Color came out, but the Lum images seemed
flat, as the night was not the best.
So.. I tried what Phil would do... I went and got my image from 2010 that
was very sharp, and combined that into the image as well, then processed.
Now I got the sharpness with the color, and can say it is about 6 hours
imaging (4 last week, and 2 from 2010).
This is the best colliding pair in the northern hemisphere, only one better
is Centaurus A in the southern hemisphere I think.
Taken with the 32 inch scope, last week with ZWO asi6200 camera R,G,B, Lum
and a touch of Ha,
from 2010 with SBIG STL1001E all Lum.

Spectacular image, Mario.
It really needs a scope like your 32" to give it proper drama.

You inspired me
Got the color but sharpness not as good as my prior image in Lum So I did what you would have, I used dynamic star alignment in pix to combine the image from different cameras and it worked out nicely
