Thanks Ray,
SharpCap is pretty amazing software for $10 per year.
The image is pretty much how it developed live.
I use the auto color balance, and start with auto stretch, then play with the sliders from there, (There’s slightly more to it, but it’s all pretty basic), to observe the object. Once I finish observing the object I reduce the stretch to get a “balanced pleasing image” and save it.
Rarely (as in this case) I will import the png into photoshop, and have a play.
This was done in photoshop express on the iPad. I’m embarrassed to admit, it took 5minutes! Crop....one of the hdr presets....spot healing tool to remove some hot pixel trails. And that’s it.....of course it’s not fancy or skillful astrophotography, but it’s a nice record of my observing session, and a reminder of what was in my minds eye when observing at the eye piece.
Cheers
Hemi
