This one is seldom photographed area. It is a Dark Nebula in Cassiopeia. I often search AP image web sites to see how others have captured and imaged a new targets. There are often page (60 images per page) after page after page of images of the same target, this one has 29 images in total.
I got 12 frames of 240 seconds for each of my LRGB filters. The 48 frames plus the 48 flats and 48 darks proved to be a little too much for my computer to digest at one go. I had to use the "how do one person eat an elephant by themself" approach. I had to Calibrate and Register the images from each filter as a group. (12 images from the Lum filter +Flats+Darks). When I had save all the masters from each filter I had to Register the 4 masters in PixInSIght. No big deal but and extra step. I suspect the computer issue was the result of not enough RAM. Each image is just shy of 40MB in size.
The stars were easy to capture, the foreground dust not-so-much. I will go back and gather more data when to opportunity arises.
