Tarantula
Hi All,
Trying to learn a bit of processing using DSS, Startools, GIMP and Darktable. Darktable being similar to one of Photoshop extremely expensive software.
Anyway, I am not sure but my flats may not have been the best for this one as there appears to be some gradient on the lower section. I have 2 processes one with and one without gradient removal.
For DSS, I have managed to find this so far the best of all free stacking tools I have used, only as long the right configurations are applied.
Startools, also I am improving learning small steps at a time moving past the defaults on occasions. There is so much flexibility with this software, but there is so much to learn.
GIMP is as GIMP will be, improving in its capability slowly over time. I now can look at Photoshop tutorials and can apply them to GIMP.
Darktable, Is a great touchup tool and has an Astro Noise filter. Not bad, but it contrast' features work well. The issues left are:
Calibrated monitors, and a new camera. My 450D bloats badly, it is 11 years old and noisy as hell. This noise level requires too much postprocessing that it appears out of focus.

40 Bias
Flow DSS -> Startools -> Darktable -> GIMP
Can anyone let me know if the red streak at the bottom is a gradient or is it real?
There is an obvious amount of compression done to the attached images on IceinSpace, but My images are not worthy of a dedicate website until they can improve.
