Tarantula nebula

[Karlzburg]

Tarantula nebula from last night, only did about 25 subs @ 37 secs. I had DSS leave out subs with less than 1400 stars. Total time was 13 mins, will be doing more subs tonight as long as the clouds keep away.

ISO 1600
37 sec subs
5 inch newt

edited in digital photo professional with minor touches to brightness and contrast and +2 on orange, yellow, aqua, purple and magneta. Cropped to cut out the comas.

Thanks for looking

That looks great! Love the colour too.

Karl, I had a play with this shot of yours and was able to gain a fair bit more detail that's hidden in your data. The point is, you have some good data in your captures that your processing isn't revealing, try not to clip your blacks so much and you'll be amazed at what's lying within.:thumbsup:

I also had a play and came up with this in photoshop, there is a lot of detail in your shot as Michael pointed out, hope you don't mind.

[Karlzburg]

What did you adjust to get it like that?

Karl please try startools.
You can get a trial version but like it been said I think that you have more that you could get out of your images via processing.
Anyways well done.

Getting a better lappy that can handle what I need to do and loads of storage.

I created a separate layer and upped the exposure, then with a layer mask cut back on the overexposed areas and blended them together. Took 5 minutes

Really nice work. Nice detail and colours :)

For a small amount of short exposures you have there on small scope your detail is very good.

Thanks for all the comments, I'm planning of having another go at this nebula with a lot more subs. I have a coma corrector coming too, I'm excited to see what I can achieve.
