That's become much clearer now Bert! For some misguided, deviant reason, I had been expecting my raw data captures to look almost “finished” before I had even begun the processing cycle, so I have just not been too happy with them over the last couple of years, pending fine tuning of my capture technique as I gradually ironed out niggling bugs and sloppy technique.
I have made enormous inroads into getting my rig astro photography ready, but paid scant attention to image processing as the data never quite seemed up to scratch. Noise, “thin” images, hot/cold pixels, vignetting, trailed stars, etc. etc.
Although there is always room for improvement in the quality of data capture, the piece of the jig saw puzzle that was really missing for me was that I (mostly) already had the data, but I simply didn’t believe it, or better still, know it!
Jase’s process of the M16 data finally made the penny drop, so all I have to do now is to better understand the nature of the data that I am able to acquire and how to best process it, to tease out the latent “stuff” embedded in there. Shouldn’t take me longer than a few minutes of practice eh?
Cheers
Dennis
