I took 40 x 2-min subs, went through them and hand-picked the best 25. Not sure why some were blurry and others razor-sharp; it wasn't windy, I didn't walk anywhere near the tripod, I had all cables / straps tied back... weird.

Anyway very happy with the data collection - the resolution is wonderful and the detail is great. However, I'm still not happy with the processing & editing. It's a lot better than my first attempt but it's got some VERY intense editing to make it look like this. As a photographer I know that the more you push the editing the less natural it looks, and this doesn't look natural to me.

I used 10 flats, 20 darks and 10 bias. Noise & vignetting levels are fine by me so I don't feel adding more would solve anything. I messed with the luminance curves in DSS to put RGB spikes all overlapping at the inflection point.

I'd like to put all RAW images (lights, flats, darks, bias) into a Dropbox folder and see what other people come up with; is that sort of thing done here?
