Just tried something.
I recombined each file after DSS has done its stacking darks, bias subtracted and ran the files back through DSS with no darks etc. I have over processed the image but it seems sharper in the dust lanes etc but I know the core is blown out.
Is this the right way to do it when you have different length subs or put the whole lot including the different length darks into DSS and stack the whole lot or use Photoshop and blend the finished subs?
Its just that I have differnt length darks according to each group of subs.
Does DSS work this out when the whole lot is together?
I know I added the stack of 60 x 15 sec, and 4 x 120 sec from DSS to the image but when I tried the photoshop way it didnt look as good as the 30sec, 60 sec combo.
Also when choosing the reference sub in DSS is it just the best score or do you analyze it other ways?
1 x 15sec ( from 60x15sec )
1 x 30sec ( from 60x30sec )
1 x 60sec ( from 30x60sec )
1 x 120sec ( from 4x120sec )
Stretched a little
Also tried unsharp mask.
Getting deeper into the dark art of processing and its starting to look like there are multiple different ways eventually get the same result but then you can get multiple different images using the same data.
Hope this all makes sense as my head is spinning a bit.
Cheers
Andy
