Widefield Imaage Processing Tips Needed?

Hi All,

After giving my new Canon 100mm F2.8 lens a run of imaging the other night, it became clear that for widefield images of dense star-fields that I need to use other techniques to post-process that with my prime focus shots.

With prime focus stars are usually well discriminated and objects are general easily separated. With this wide-field of Sagitarius it's more like a solid pixelated ocean of gold with darker intrusions... the stars all meld into one. The attached is from 5 x 200s at F3.2.

Do other's process widefields differently to prime focus? Any tips on processing these in images plus?

cheers,

Rob
