rdm<p>Last night was the last night of clear weather for a week or so for us, so, despite the full moon, we popped the Dwarves up on the roof.</p><p>First up let's look at what I got the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DwarfII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DwarfII</span></a> to do. I thought I'd revisit my old favourite, <a href="https://aus.social/tags/C63" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>C63</span></a> the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HelixNebula" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HelixNebula</span></a> . What I got surprised me greatly. </p><p>Here is the same scene - about a fortnight apart - one shot on the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Dwarf3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dwarf3</span></a> and the other on the DwarfII. In both cases there is about 7 hours of exposure, at gain 80, and both are using a dualband <a href="https://aus.social/tags/OIII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OIII</span></a> / <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HII</span></a> filter. </p><p>Both were post processed in the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/StellarStudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StellarStudio</span></a> and finished in <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Snapseed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Snapseed</span></a> . </p><p>I am utterly amazed at just how good the Dwarf2 stands up. No, it is not as good as the Dwarf3, but it is still a solid image, and one I am very pleased with.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/astrophotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>astrophotography</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Astrodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Astrodon</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SmartTelescope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SmartTelescope</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BackYardAstronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BackYardAstronomy</span></a></p>
