Hi guys,


Totally agree - will improve it as I fell into the beginner mistake of clipping the background too far to give a neat black space look - that's my next fix to address in my imaging - and luckily a pretty simple one to correct!

One thing I do wish to explore further and soon is once one has a large data set - how best does one determine what shots go into stacking and which get pre-rejected? When one is considering S/N or other factors like sky quality or star count or HFR how does one draw the line to say either take everything above some weighted set of criteria versus take only the best 10% or best 50% or reject only the bottom Y%. With a large data set does the image improve if you take only your very, very best images or do you let WBPP weighing sort this out and say throw nearly everything into it and let it decide what to keep and reject and how to optimally weigh what it is seeing?

Thanks,
Matt

PS

I purchased the AdamBlock series and am about to go through them - from the basics up to get all I can from it.
