Hi Paul, I don't know if Kevin was referring to me regarding processing in
DSS, but he was right, I only use PS for downsizing, and maybe a little sharpening. I hesitate to offer any advise, being a newbie myself, but a
couple of observations might help. Many people complain that DSS leaves
you with a washed out image; this is true, but it is then up to you to
restore the colour, and get the luminance right, in order to retain
nebulosity etc, by adjusting the histogram using the RGB sliders
individually, and/or together. The three luminance sliders should be experimented with in order to tone down highlights if necessary, and bring out nebulosity. I generally find that the saturation ends up between 18 and 21. It is impossible for your stacked images to contain less data than your single sub, so I think that you have to be doing something wrong in DSS. My images are only of fair to middling quality, but there is no shortage of colour in them. Incidentally, I don't personally like
modded DSLRs much, as Kevin said in an earlier thread, the blue gets
overwhelmed.
