Hi,


I took this shot of the Carina Nebula at 150mm with a DSLR on a SkyWatcher Star Adventurer and am wondering if anyone can give me some feedback on how it could be improved? It was a series of mostly 90 second shots at 800ISO, for a total of about 40 minutes, with a Canon 450D. I shot it from my backyard in a regional city and processed it in Pixinsight after stacking in Deep Sky Stacker with bias frames and some flats and had to crop it quite a bit. I know darks would have helped reduce the noise more but for this shot I didn't manage to get them. I am still learning Pixinsight and have probably missed out on a lot of processing steps. Is it OK to post a link to my FITS file to see what others with more experience can get out of this shot, and explain the steps they took? It would help me a lot to get a workflow to follow to learn how to use Pixinsight better.



Thanks,
