well I really tried but it just wont pop.
nice colours eh
there is about 13 hours of data here ..not that you would know.
I did the 3x drizzle and had multiple crashes and this has taken me a week.
I gave each stack its colour according to the Hubble palllete but let it go its way and pressed every button in photo shop that said auto...but I really did not learn anything to be honest. it is what it is...80mm refractor, heq5 unguided mount, exposures one and two minutes,crazy gain way beyond reasonablewhich is probably my biggest issue but until I get guiding sorted high gain will be used unforgivingly, DSS 3X drizzle, Startools, Photo Shop to the max.
the original stack was cropped probably by half to minimise the lovely oval stars there because I still have to sort out spacing.
but I have been busy and could not let clear sky pass just because my gear is not ready..or me
I have reduced saturation but I expect it will be way over as usual.
any advice greatly appreciated but I think I know what things I need do before anyone wastes their time pointing out what I need to do.
