Clouds have moved back over the house. No new data :-(
However I did combine 2 nights worth.
30 of 120 sec. Gain = 100
30 of 120 sec. Gain = 70
20 of DARKS, FLATS & BIAS
Not much better really.
Tried some new processing techniques though.
For the PI enthusiasts:
LINEAR
Dynamic Crop
Rotation
Channel Extraction of Luminance, Red, Blue, Green
LRGB combination reducing the Green component.
ABE (automatic background extraction)
BN (Background Neutralisation)
CC (Colour Calibration)
ACDNR (noise reduction)
Mask Generation using the Luminance component as the mask.
Saved off as a JPEG and then adjusted in Photo Shop to reveal only the bit I was working on.
CT (curves transformation) with the appropriate mask.
NON LINEAR
HT (Histogram Transform)
Photo Shop.
Brightness, Contrast, Curves
Added a new layer with opacity set at 20% and 'painted' out some noise.
ALEX (if you read this far). That shot you took with the mobile phone of your screen is a classic! I think you should choose the next target :-)
