There's a completely different mindset required from exposure to processing.
I'll be doing Omega Centauri this year... and a couple of other star clusters hopefully - they've never been targets I've focused on, but I think, what better way to learn to properly process star colours without blowing them out, than to process images where they are the 'star' of the show! |
You do raise some good points Alex that when taking images of clusters be they open clusters or globulars, there is a different focus (no pun intended) required particularly with star profiles and colours. I guess when reviewing images of clusters there is no nebula around to divert the attention either.
