Took some more widefield images last night with the 350D on the EQ platform.
Used the 18-55mm @ 18mm, f/3.5.
Took 5 x 90s exposures, and they suffer from a lot of sky glow
I need a dark site! And it'll help when i'm pointing at something straight up, not on the horizon!
Two images are attached:
1. Registered and median combined in Registar, and then processed in photoshop.
2. Registered and median combined in Registar, and then processed in PixInsight LE.
PixInsight is a great program, very powerful, though very hard to use. I'll keep at it though, as I think it will do a great job once I get the hang of it. It did a better job at removing sky glow, though it looks like i've lost some stars as well.
I tried Iris, but I agree with Striker.. horrible program to use
I'm sure it's good at doing a certain task on a sequence of images but incredibly un-user friendly.
Anyway if you'd like to have a go at my 5 originals, they can be
downloaded here (18meg).
Thanks
