AstroDMx Capture was used with an SV605CC OSC colour CMOS camera and an Altair Starwave ASCENT 60ED doublet refractor with 0.8 reducer/flattener and a Pegasus Focuscube v2. An Altair 2” magnetic filter holder version 2 containing an Altair quadband filter was placed in the optical train. 26 light frames, 5 dark frames, 50 bias frames, 50 flatfields and 50 dark flats were captured. The data were calibrated, debayered, stacked and part processed in PixInsight and completed in GraXpert, Seti Astro Suite Pro Cosmic Clarity and Gimp. A Pixinsight Cosmic Photons script was used to Generate a Hertzprung Russel diagram of the stars in the image.
