Hi everyone

Have added 2hrs worth of luminance to the original image data. Has indeed deepened the nebulosity of the image, but disappointingly, there was no real significant reduction in noise.

Strange thing happened during the capture of the new data. I set up an imaging session in MaximDL ... 11 luminence images of 15 mins each. Images 6,7,8,9 all ended up with out of round stars.

With regard to processing:
I have only done the Digital Development steps to the Luminance data and then to the LRGB image.
Im finding that after this process little else I do has a positive effect on the image .. is this normal ??

Do others find it is a major episode adding new data. Registering all the new images to the old ones, and then reprocessing it all. Certainly a time consuming thing !!!

Thanks
