Oh he is obviously smart, but bad advice is bad advice which ever way you look at it. What's the saying? He can talk-the-talk but cannot walk-the-walk when it comes to astrophotography

Chris, if you want to get rid of the satellite trail in the Heart nebula, give the heal module a shot at it. It usually does a pretty good job of it. Sat trails don't especially bother me ;) Che Thanks, I'll have to try that - the only time I have in the past it removed all the stars and figured th...

Beautiful images Chris :bow-yellow: I especially like your California nebula. It has a wonderful 3-d effect of floating in the stars and has beautiful highlights. All are well done :obscene-drinkingcheers: Che Thanks Che, glad you liked it :obscene-drinkingcheers: That one was published in this mon...

As a result I still have many outstanding targets which are incomplete or not even started. This post represents t...

Combined some Lum data I captured last year with new Lum data + RGB a couple weeks ago, so a lot of subs in total (79 x 900s). I don't normally do RGB images but I made an exception for this nice galaxy :-) Scope: Televue NP127is @ 660mm CCD: Atik490EX @ 1x1 binning Mount: 10-Micron GM2000HPS Guide:...

Yes, definitely stacking artifacts, when you do a stretch after a wipe they cause this result. Do an 'Autostretch' first so you can see the dark edges then crop inside of them (well inside of them). Then you do a stretch again (choose re-do global stretch).

Looks like Green was removed from the first process? The bright stars in particular are a better colour in the second example. Nice images anyway
