This is a bit of an experiment, so we’ll see how this works out. I plan to have someone from the club publish a sample data set on a monthly basis. This will…
- Provide club members with access to good quality data to learn & practice with
- Do processing workshops via zoom where we can walk through different workflows to process the data, ideally different members can walk through their tools & workflows so that we can all learn new approaches
- It will be fun to see what end product different people are able to produce with the same dataset
Dataset details
The target is the Leo Triplet, the data was captured in April 2021 at Withlacoochee River Park.
There are two options – a pre-stacked master image which you can download & process, or the full raw dataset which you can stack to build a master image which you would then process.

How to Stack the data
article on this to be published shortly….
A fascinating discussion is worth comment. I do believe that you should write more about this subject matter, it may not be a taboo subject but typically folks dont talk about such issues. To the next! Cheers!!
Very nice article. I absolutely love this site. Keep writing!
