Hi Martin,

Thanks for the detailed reply. Very tasteful processing. And I fully agree with your opinion on clean data. I usually tend to overprocessing nonetheless. But I am getting better at it

Thanks for sharing your mono adventure!

I had a look at the PI stack and had the impression that it is the best stack so far (thanks again, Mike!). Maybe the subframe weighting had some impact. I settled on a rendition between Mike's version and Carles' artistic version: https://cdn.astrobin.com/thumbs/DnpQ4t6WkX5M_2560x0_rv2QpFNw.jpg I a...

Hi all,

Thanks for your feedback. I am currently away from my PC and will answer in detail when I am back home.

Mike, thanks again, looking forward to processing your PI stack!

Stefan, how do you treat youre stars. I've seen they are always pretty nice without any halo's at all. I think there are often quite some halos, Dietmar also noticed them recently (https://forum.startools.org/viewtopic.php?p=14733#p14733) ;) You can also see them in my recent cluster images (https:...

Hi Martin, that looks insane :bow-yellow: Really wished this target would be within reach for me. Together with the dragons of Ara my favourite southern target out of reach ;) The handling of the dynamic range is impressive to me. Did you use HDR or is it just the 2600MM handling the high dynamic ra...

Hi Carles and Freddy, thanks for your feedback! you should try adding some "dark anomaly filter" on Wipe. DAF was 15 pixels ;) Were there errors in the capture? I mean , any idea what went wrong? In terms of acquisition I used the very same camera settings than for my three most recent images (Carol...

Thanks to Mike in Rancho who helped with stacking in Siril after I failed with both ASTAP and Siril ( :oops: ) I was finally able to get something out of my NGC 1333 data: https://cdn.astrobin.com/thumbs/2FEgtDwRVLT2_16536x0_ieTZ0INm.jpg Hasn't been an easy one. Initially I've been totally unable to...

Hello Martin,

I can't provide a step by step process at the moment but maybe this thread helps?

Hi Ron, your three images already look pretty mature... :bow-yellow: I think the suggestion of Carles and Mike to separately process Ha and OIII and then combine them in either Compose or Layer might well work. Another possibility is to use NBAccent but to digress a bit from the recommended path. Af...

I read about this Tonpapier dew caps somewhere. No way! I really thought I would have invented this... :shock: No. I don't like knots. And cables :evil: At least not at my scope :lol: Well, I'll have to show an image of my rig from 2021: IMG_20210307_181804.jpg In the meantime, it improved a bit bu...
