19th Nov. 900nc M42 mosaic

G'day all.


This was a lot of work, but I reckon it was worth it. Not the best image for detail but I nipped the image scale problem in the bud I get with my setup. I am appeased!

Details: 4 lots of 42 images @ 20 sec expsure with ID settings.

Ran all four subs thru registax 3 using no waveletts. Stacked only.

Pulled all 4 finals into imerge & merged.

Back into registax with the 1 saved final; Went into the wavelett filter section, modified the center filter to read 5000 rather than 50. Hit the image with maximum waveletts on all 6 sliders. Contrast/3 point gamma/blah blah alterations.

Into Picture Publisher & cropped/resized/saturation/unsharpmask/etc.

Into neatimage & killed off some noise/grain & sharpened.

The original sized image before taking it into neatimage & Pic. Publisher I'll add to this thread too.

Modded 900nc/5.5" schmidt newt.
