NGC 7331: by Greg Morgan 12.5" RCOS

& STL-11K Lum 5.5 hours, notice all the blooming taking place.  The ABG trim pot needs to be adjusted on this camera.

This is a test image of a 30 minute sub-frame 1x1 Lum filter.  The ABG or gain on the STL-11K is set to high.  It needs to be adjusted down to a level where the blooming will not take place.

This is a 30 minute sub-frame of a slightly brighter star.  The ABG trim pot has been turned 1/4 turn CCW for greater ABG protection as described here.
