star spikes using synth
I'm guessing that star spikes can be added using synth. Could anybody give me a step by step, (button by button), procedure how to do this. I get as far as the calculating point spread function, it then says star mask too dense, so I follow the instructions auto, stars & do but I have no idea what t...

Re: stars like little doughnuts,(donuts).
Hi Almcl, no, they're not on the subs only after DSS. I noticed them when I started to process the stacked image.

Re: stars like little doughnuts,(donuts).
Hi Cheman, It's a Canon 40D on a 200p on a Neq6, guided with a qhy5 11 with phd. Polar alignment was spot on as was focus with a batinov mask. It was of the dumbbell and took 34 x 150 secs plus 7 darks and 7 bias. I'd upload it but I don't know how to, (lol), but I have managed to upload it onto fli...

stars like little doughnuts,(donuts).
Hi guys, My stars come out like little doughnuts. It may be an inherent imaging problem, (could be collimation), but has anyone had this problem and more importantly, how did you deal with it? It could probably be solved with a mask, unfortunately I've no idea what I'm doing with a mask so please be...

Re: Fuzzy border
As well as using a slightly processed image I've followed a different tutorial. Not sure what I did differently but a better result. This program is really good, I'll have it for Christmas!!!

Re: Fuzzy border
Ah.......I'm still on my trial period so I can't save anything, however I did bin and also crop. I actually cropped loads as the galaxies were off centre. It's a strange one as I'm doing another image and there's a hint of this framing thing starting to appear when I do a contrast. I'll try another ...

Re: Fuzzy border
Actually, going on from that, would it be possible to have a tutorial showing how to bring detail out of small areas of an image, bit like Bodes and Cigar. I'm doing pretty well at getting the whole image processed, like Orion nebula or triangulum, but still have difficulties with small areas that c...

Fuzzy border
Hi, I managed to get 90x60secs of Bodes and Cigar galaxies, stacked with no other processing in DSS. I then went through the process in StarTools and got (what I thought) was actually a very good image, with good detail in Cigar and quite a distinct swirl in Bodes. The problem was a fuzzy border. On...
