Wow. How come I can't get that! :D This is what I've been doing all morning, trying to keep it all to defaults so I can learn what everything does. 1. Open dataset and choose Linear, from OSC/DSLR with Bayer matrix and not white balanced 2. Autodev > no changes > keep (can't see any stacking artifac...

Hi there Ivo Thanks for offering to take a look. Here's a link to the file straight out of DSS, on OneDrive. If you need anything else, let me know and I'll add them to that directory. You're also absolutely right on the star colour. That's my fault for missing that. Indeed, the stars are bi-colour ...

This is a 5min edit in Photoshop. I don't want to use PS because then I lose access to StarTools' excellent modules, but this is the sort of colour I'm going for. Very easy to achieve in PS.

Hi all Struggling to get the right colour balance with my image. Camera: ASI2600MC Filter: L-Extreme Bortle: 5 Lights: 43 Darks: 40 Flats: 40 Dark Flats: 40 When I took these in NINA and applied the auto-stretch, it gave me an image that looked as follows. Obviously a little green, but definitely so...

Just bringing this one back again. Seems that my sensor has these bands by default. Not much I can do besides use a different camera. Here are stretches of my 3 main DSLRs. 5D IV on the left, 1D IV in the middle, and 5D II on the right Both 5Ds have the issue. The 1D has a weird green tinge on the b...

Stacking and calibration, indeed. Dithering should help, but maybe you can have a look at a single frame and see what the banding looks like in a single frame? Thanks. I'll look at dithering next year. I don't have a guide scope yet, just trying to learn and master one thing at a time :) I did take...

Hi Ivo Thank you for looking into the data. I don't know why I can't get rid of those bands from stacking (I thought that's what the point was!) Below are my settings in DSS https://i.imgur.com/Fom7mwb.jpg and https://i.imgur.com/Q1P0J2Q.jpg It's good you managed to remove the middle band, but I gue...

Hi all Just purchased StarTools and as a total newbie to this hobby, I love how much easier (even if I don’t entirely understand it!) it is compared to Photoshop. I’m processing an image taken last night of Orion, and can’t seem to get rid of the sensor banding from my Canon 5D IV. I’ve followed the...
