It looks like the DSI Pro II suffers the same problem as the Toucam with the Star Bloat. Annoying isn't it! But you have done well capturing the fine structures in the arms.
Did you use any filters? I am wondering if an IR/UV cut filter might help with the Star Bloat and core burnout.
I like it  |
Thanks.
I would be able to say a bit more than nice image a little more often if you guys didn't take so many wonderful images, i can hardly get through them all. Plus, as I said, I havn't had any clear skies in over a month now, how good it feels to get out in the sub-zero temperatures...
The DSI Pro II does suffer from star bloat, do you know of any ways I can reduce this in PS?
Also, while I'm asking, can anyone tell me how to make diffraction spikes in PS? I have seen them added before and I think if done correctly, they can make an image more wonderful.
Yes, i do use a filter with all of my images, other than the colour filters I need to get coloured images, I also mount an IR filter on the nosepiece of the DSI Pro II for all of my shots (including the colour shots).
Oh, and yes, the core of many deep sky objects burns out when I image. I have gotten quite good at using
this technique to help but I dont often bother with just small things like this unless I really have some spair time outside on a clear night.
Thanks again.
