Green cast:
Fixed by adjusting the green curve and saturation in PS.
Stars lost their colour and look unnatural:
This was a problem with the sharpening that bleached the stars. I am now using the high pass filter + desaturation in PS.
Background too black, unnatural:
Fixed by changing the black point plus “lighter” curve in PS.
Jpeg artefacts:
No idea what to do. Please advice.
I also tried to improve the galaxy so it “jumps” out of the picture. I changed the clipping parameters in DSS (DeepSkyStacker) to force it to reject more data and select only the pictures with a FWHM less than 4.9. Result: smaller stars and crispier details better for sharpening. 10 hours of data gives lots of room for manoeuvring.
Please send more comments and thanks for looking,
