[Jackstar]

Last night i managed another few hours on the fighting dragons.


I'm really pleased with how this is coming on.
I have just bought the l-eXtreme filter but may not get it for a while.
when i do i would like to add a few more hours to this with that data.


For now:
69 x 300s
5.75 hrs
ASI2600
darks
flats
bias
dark flats
Orion eon 115mm
captured with NINA
processed APP

Your putting in the hard yards Jack, and it's paying off!

Would be nice to see a high res. version.

Astrobin?

Hi Jack

The hi res is very very good.

You can now play with that data for hours.
Personal taste and artistic creativity is what your after.

In PS, adjustments I play with:

Brightness/Contrast
Curves
Vibrance
Hue/Sat
Colour Balance

And don't forget to practise focus routines every night (yours is pretty good).

Thanks Peter,


I am using the auto focus routine in NINA which turns out to be better than my eyes.
My procedure is to slew to a manual focus star and get it to good focus using a bahtinov mask and then run the autofocus routine.
Everytime it improves what i have settled on as the best i could get it to.
I still see it as a challenge to try and get it right manually though.


I am using the same tools in PS as well as the camera raw adjustments.
Now i am getting settled with the acquisition i might have another look at pixinsight for processing. i tried the free trial but was struggling with everything, acquisition and processing,at the same time.
