A few nights ago I decided to see if I could manage to image the Dark Shark nebula. Unfortunately I only managed 10x600s luminance subs. I had an issue with doing a meridian flip to the north! I'll be trying again this autumn as I'm rather pleased with the data. The actual data was quite successful but needed more subs. For some reason WBPP didn't remove the satellite trail in one of the images.
Minimal processing using MARS to achieve gradient removal and then BlurX, StarX and NoiseX together with a couple of of curves application to increase contrast and emphasise the Shark. I also reduced the stars when I returned them to the image.
