This leads to mushy stars at higher magnification, fuzzballs rather than pinpoints.  Lower magnification sidesteps this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still using the borrowed ASI2600MC color camera for a few more days, seeing just what it is capable of.  The slightly larger sensor is nice and the data easier to process, but still I am seeing limitations that annoy me in the fine details.  The color balance is difficult to deal with as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will be going back to the ASI1600MM and filter wheel soon enough.  I do need to up my processing game, the software side has changed substantially over the years and I need to transition.  Will be giving PixInsight a spin over the next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"602\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/darkerview.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/M820230327.jpg\" alt=\"The Lagoon Nebula Region\" class=\"wp-image-29416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/darkerview.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/M820230327.jpg 602w, https:\/\/darkerview.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/M820230327-600x897.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Lagoon Nebula Region including M8, M20, M23, NGC6544, IC 4678, Bochum 14, and much more<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taking the AT6RC tube off and installing the Televue 76mm on the mount changes the game a bit.
