Appreciate the kind comments from you all, i thought it was an interesting excercise, one thing i didnt do, was look at the work attemps & result from the early 2010 folder, just started from scratch from the oridginal Raw Files, In fact, these Raw files are actually the only Raws I have, true, All my other Astro Images are only JPGs ? ? So I'm sure I've been converted now, Lol.
Poita ( Peter ) Thanx for your interest, tho I cant remember how I made that mess back in 2010. The recent version was breifly a matter of converting all the subs into Tiffs, Then stack each set of exposures in RegiStaX, Then basically layered each of the stacked results onto each other and then went hammer and tongs in PS ?
By the way, I just made some sml jpgs of one single tiff from each exposure set before stacking and processing as requested, I hope they are ok for an idea of what I worked from ?
Cheers !
