Hello, could you tell me how you deal with noise? I'm considering blurXterminator, but I'm not sure how to purchase it now. I have similar equipment, but I struggle a lot with noise. I shoot from a white zone, but the L-extreme should handle it somehow.

Hello, technically speaking, I've started focusing on taking many frames with a maximum exposure of 120 seconds and cooling at -10°C, specifically with this camera. During processing in Photoshop, Imagenomic Noiseware works quite well for noise reduction, and NoiseXterminator has also performed nicely in PixInsight. As far as I know, Blur has different purposes, being more for deconvolution.

Is the corrector really that bad at correcting?

No, I don't think I captured that segment in this session. Otherwise, it's a pretty decent corrector. Well, I don't shoot deep-sky with the Newtonian anymore—sold everything off. For now, the 80ED is my main instrument.
