Its a start...Prawn Nebula

I have been otherwise occupied since I captured data for the Prawn Nebula and as you all know I had little idea what to do with my data anyways.

I am trying to use Photo Shop and I suppose that is because that is what I used years ago and at this point I really don't like Star Tools or Pixinsite ...so it is what it is..its like I could drive my little car faster than a v8 simply because I have more control..

I know the colour is crook but at least I am getting some control on the colours and the layer process. This is good as I could get without losing detail...but its just the start.


One thing I have learnt is to be real careful in recording your capture details.

I have a batch which I did not name and cant remember if they were red or or what... so a tip there.. in an rush to get stuff its those little things that come back to bite you.

The mount tracked well but there were a few trailed ones but put them all in DSS and told it to select the best 70% ...any crook stars are more a result of trying to move the layers around with just the mouse so a drawing pad thing is on the list to correct that part of things.

Thanks to all the members for all the help that has got me this far.

I will do better to show you all that your advice and help has been greatly appreciated.

I am struck by the detail over the dslr approach.

The HA although not much of it was mind blowing.
