I like your most recent rendition on astrobin, Freddy.

When you are using star removal you are probably doing that in PI, right? Is that on linear data or already stretched? Can you then process in ST with tracking on?

Thanks, guys! Freddy, I am actually pretty happy with the color. I went for 'pure red' in NBAccent turning the pinkish color from the broadband data a bit less candyland ;) Can we consider it an optional way of showing things, without stepping too deep into art. I like that one, Mike :thumbsup: So y...

Hi Mike, your first take looks pretty much like my first "image" of M 33 :lol: :thumbsup: I very much enjoyed your recent renditions of M 33. As Dietmar already wrote, M 33 with the faint outer regions is not an easy one but you found a good balance. Of course I had bumped up the saturation via SS a...

Hi everyone, the recent bad weather period made it easy to take a break from AP, not only from imaging but also from forums and the like. Visiting astrobin from time to time I saw 100+ notifications of new images of people I follow and I closed it again immediately :lol: In the meantime I wanted to ...

Thanks, Ron! I see, I will try that! Though decreasing DEC aggressiveness from 100% to 70% already led to a guide error of ~0.5''. I also had to adjust the exposure time from 1 to 2 sec. I had the impression that I was chasing the seeing (also with multi star guiding) which might be expected since n...

Thanks, guys, really enjoyed your feedback! My only observation is maybe slightly over saturated with Color in main body of galaxy and the Star field which detract from fine details. The stars seem a bit too colourful but that’s only my opinion ? I agree on the stars being too colorful, Martin. But ...

This is rather a test shot than a dedicated project. It was the first light for my upgraded imaging train now containing a GPU coma corrector and an OAG instead of a Baader MPCC and a guide scope. Furthermore the filters are now applied via a filter drawer instead of being threaded in front of the c...

Hi Ron,

thanks for the interesting quotes! Will have to read into that.

It also makes for a nice close up as I recently saw: https://www.astrobin.com/h6trai/

Hi Dietmar, seems you already considered everything :) :thumbsup: But one part of your reply made me wonder...you said more than 60 secs is probably too much for your setup. In terms of tracking/guiding? Or overexposure? Probably not tracking since you use 240 sec subs for the l-eNhance filter, righ...
