I need to watch the video tutorials. So far the mosaic tools seem best.
I am yet to see a gain on the other types of tools but not too early for me to tell really.

Greg.

Sounds good Greg. Never hurts to try something different. It took me a few goes with PI on this data set. The mosaic feature sets are quite strong, especially the latest process 'GradientsMergeMosaic'. I've not pushed entered into this yet but it would appear to be promising. That said I'm always cautious of automated work flows until I understand what its doing to the data. You don't want to sacrifice the fidelity of luminosity such as suppressing highlights to match all frames. There needs to be a good balance. Manual panel matching can be tedious alas still provide the most flexibility. More experimenting will tell.

What an amazing field of view you have with that camera.

Cheers Ric. Yes, 239 arcmin square with the Apogee U16M. Provides plenty of imaging real-estate!

Thanks Rolf. I find object pairings interesting purely in a spacial distance sense. So close, yet so far. This area is cluttered with background galaxies. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks Louie. Yes, the outer extension of 253 is interesting. I used 20min lum subs so plenty of depth to bring it out. I didn't realise how far it extended. Always something new and surprising. Thanks again.

Have to say yours dose stands out beautifully with colour, and the crisp and clean appearance, top image Jase, You guys are just so good at this stuff.

Leon

Cheers Leon. Yes, your comment has jolted my memory. I recall you imaged this a while back. It provides for a great scene that's for sure. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks RB. Still learning the ropes when it comes to handling colour in PI. This one seems to work ok. Thanks for check it out.

A lovely FOV, huge expanse of sky you have there, interesting to see both those objects in context.

Like others, I think I will stick with what I know http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/....es/happy19.gif.

Cheers

Cheers John. The pairing is something different. Couldn't agree more with sticking with what you know. Half the battle in processing is to know what to do and when. Adding another tool into the mix that has a different work flow complicates things but I look at it as being well rounded. I open to new concepts that will push data to greater heights. I appreciate the feedback.

Mike

Thanks Mike! No much in the way of framing/composition logic was used here. I'd normally spend considerable time on planning but this was simply a fill in object of the pre-dawn hours. Pleased you liked the scene.
