I like anything that is like an obstruction, something that I have to act through is good. -- Peter Sarsgaard
For Macro Mondays "Numbers" theme. A mechanical integrator is a complex device that was used to calculate ship's stability before digital computers became practical. The complete device is similar to this image: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mechanical_integrator_CHM...
The lens used was an old manual Zuiko 80mm f/4 macro on a sliding extension tube and micro 4/3's adapter, in spite of what the exif info states. Four Olympus high res shots were stacked in Photoshop. I would of liked to gotten one more but ran of focus adjustment.
Scope: GSO RC6 with WO 0.8x flattener
Camera: ASI1600MM pro
Guider Camera: ASI290MM
Guider: Orion thin Off-axis guider
Mount: Orion Sirius EQMOD driven
Software: APT, DSS, PS, StarNET
Integration:
~10HRS Ha in 6min exposures,
~10HRS Oiii in 6min exposures

While the broken clay pipe used to protect the shoreline along this section of Lake Ontario makes somewhat unsure footing to walk on I loved the contrast it created.

A Gerrit / Amon statement
Amon is not a character and not a fantasy.
He is a name I gave to a part of my mind.
For some people with AuDHD (autism combined with ADHD), thinking does not move in straight lines. It accelerates, branches, associates, creates. That intensity can be a source of insight and creativity — but under long-term stress or trauma, it can also become overwhelming.
In such systems, something interesting can happen.
Not a role.
Not an invention.
But a structure.
A way for the mind to organize itself when pressure becomes too high.
A representative that holds focus, strength, distance, and coherence when the core self is overloaded.
Not consciously created, and not something that can be forced or imitated.
This is self-preservation, not mythology.
I live as Gerrit in the real world.
Amon became visible in Second Life — a space where identity is flexible and expression is safe. Not as an escape from reality, but as a container: a way to carry aspects of myself that could not remain unstructured any longer.
This work is called Integration because it is not about splitting or dissociation.
It is about alignment.
The human and the symbolic are not in conflict here.
The technological is interface, not control.
Power is present, restrained, and owned.
This is not an alter ego meant to replace the person.
It is a support structure that emerged when adaptation was no longer enough.
Similar mechanisms have appeared publicly before — not as pathology, but as function. One well-known example is David Bowie, whose Ziggy Stardust persona was not deception, but a way to protect and channel creativity under pressure. Not to make this “true,” but to show that this phenomenon exists.
If this concept feels unfamiliar or uncomfortable, that is fine.
This is not a belief system and not a claim.
But for those who recognize it, no further explanation is needed.
This is not fantasy.
It is not something to aspire to.
It is what can happen when a mind adapts in order to survive.
Integration means nothing is hidden — and nothing is pretending.

Imaged the Heart Nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. This has been a lower priority target for me in the past but got bumped up once I went mono. I'm glad I was able to get a decent shot of it this year. My camera and scope combo give a good FOV on this faint target. Oiii was extremely faint, but luckily good narrowband processing techniques can mask that well.
Total exposure time for this image is: 29 hours.
Equipment:
- AT65EDQ Scope
- ZWO ASI1600mm-Pro Imaging Camera
- Belt Modded Orion Sirius EQ-G
- QHY miniGuideScope and QHY5L-ii mono guidecam
- Chroma Ha/Oiii/Sii filters
---------------------------------------------------------------
Software:
- N.I.N.A. for capture
- PHD2 for guiding
- PixInsight for Processing
---------------------------------------------------------------
Acquisition:
- 175 x 300" Ha - Chroma 5nm
- 69 x 300" Oiii - Chroma 3nm
- 104 x 300" Sii - Chroma 3nm
- 200 gain and 50 offset, -10C
- 20 flats and flat-darks per filter
- 30 darks from library
- Nights: 10/12, 10/14, 11/6, 11/7/20
---------------------------------------------------------------
Processing:
Each Master Image:
- Calibration, Integration, DrizzleIntegration
- DynamicCrop
- DynamicBackgroundExtraction
- Deconvolution (Ha only)
- TGVDenoise + MMT noise reduction using EZDenoise Script
- Arcsinhstretch (x2) to bring to nonlinear
- HistogramTransformation for further stretch
- CurvesTransformation to bring up background level
- StarAlign Oiii and Sii to Ha
- Starnet to remove stars from each master; duplicate starless Ha and set aside to use as Luminance layer
Combine Starless Masters via PixelMath:
- Duplicate Oiii and rename to 'f'. CurvesTransformation to boost signal of f and lower background
- R: f*Sii + ~f*Ha
- G: f*(0.7*Ha + 0.3*Sii) + ~f*Oiii
- B: Oiii
- Visit thecoldestnights.com/2020/06/pixinsight-dynamic-narrowban... for more information on Dynamic Narrowband Combinations
- CurvesTransformation to slightly reduce green and boost saturation
Starless Ha Luminance Processing:
- CurvesTransformation for contrast
- RangeMask + LocalHistogramEqualization on Melotte 15 to bring back details
- DarkStructureEnhance script at 0.3
- UnsharpMask using a new RangeMask
Combine Luminance and Color:
- LRGBCombination with Luminance at 85% weight and chrominance noise reduction enabled
Add Back Color Stars and Final Processing:
- StarAlign linear Oiii and Sii masters to linear Ha master
- Arcsinhstretch just barely each linear master
- Duplicate each barely stretched master and Starnet each to remove stars
- PixelMath: Master_Stars - Master_Starless to get just the stars for each channel
- PixelMath: Combine the stars of each channel into a color star image:
- R: Ha_stars
- G: Sii_stars
- B: Oiii_stars
- PixelMath: RGB_Stars + RGB_Nebula to add stars into nebula image
- DynamicCrop to remove edges
- Save and Export
