Orion 2010 Repro

[astronobob]

Hi Astro-lianos : )

Seeing the cloud is being a Pain I thought to re-process some data taken back in Feb 2010 with a 400D and ED100 on a Heq5p

Image details are 6 x 15sec, 6 x 60s, 6 x 120s, 9 x 360, 9 x 600s & 3 x 900s. ISO800, ICNR, Tiffs Stacked in DSS, Layered and processed in Ps3

1st Image is my result from Feb 2010

[Poita]

Wow!
Could you share what your new processing technique is compared to the old?

[Poita]

Oh and any chance of posting some single preprocessed images? I love seeing what the 'before' data looks like.

Very nice work, Bob. Good use of the cloudy weather :)

Hi Bob, the re-pro definitely has a dramatic color and shows a very good improvement, it was worth the effort for sure!

Appreciate the kind comments from you all, i thought it was an interesting excercise, one thing i didnt do, was look at the work attemps & result from the early 2010 folder, just started from scratch from the oridginal Raw Files, In fact, these Raw files are actually the only Raws I have, true, All my other Astro Images are only JPGs ? ? So I'm sure I've been converted now, Lol.

Poita ( Peter ) Thanx for your interest, tho I cant remember how I made that mess back in 2010. The recent version was breifly a matter of converting all the subs into Tiffs, Then stack each set of exposures in RegiStaX, Then basically layered each of the stacked results onto each other and then went hammer and tongs in PS ?

By the way, I just made some sml jpgs of one single tiff from each exposure set before stacking and processing as requested, I hope they are ok for an idea of what I worked from ?
Cheers !
