Hey Alex
Yes – that set up should do this nicely. I’ve found that when using the DMK to image multiple stars that have a wide brightness range, especially through Barlow’s, I have often achieved my best results by playing around with the Gamma, somewhere between 16 to 18 (range 10-22) at the time of capture.
This setting (and do experiment) seems to attenuate the overwhelming glare of the brighter component whilst “teasing” out the fainter component.
I’ve found that by just increasing the Gain (linear), the bright component can overwhelm the fainter component(s) in its bloated glare. Using Gamma seems to produce a non-linear stretch that seems to help bring the fainter star out of the background.
Good luck!
Dennis
