Well, here are 2 versions of my photos taken last week.
Esprit 100
ASI 183MC-pro
50 frames to start
40 sec each frame
Gain 186
HEQ5 Pro unguided
No filters
Sharpcap
DSS
Processed very amateurishly in Pixinsight
I didn't know when to stop processing, so stopped when it looked not too bad, then did another slightly set of processing thingoes.
I have great difficulty sussing out that all the work you guys (who are experts) do, ends up in just a few lousy kilobites of a JPEG file.......Millions of pixels, hours of exposures, lights, darks, bias, then a zillion hours in processing the image, then all to turn all that huge amount of data into a 150kbite file
There must be something honourable and mighty you all do with that data?
ANYWAY here are two versions of my first half decent photo
PLEEESE comment how I can make the images better
