First night with a scope and camera, very grey.
Hi all. I'm new at this. Very new. Bought a Celestron C8 and an EQ6 mount off two fellow forum members only 3 weeks ago.
Well my Nikon T ring finally arrived and I had my first night out this weekend. They may look a bit crap but I'm stoked at the result. After a LOT of photoshop work I managed to get something resembling M8, M20 and M83. I don't know how but my tracking was spot on, and M8 exposures were 17 seconds at ISO1250 on a Nikon D200.
For some reason though, the results look grey, and I mean very grey. They look far more grey after stacking in Deep Sky Stacker and bumping of saturation than the original frames looked out of the camera. So needless to say my processing techniques need a bit of work.
Deep Sky Stacker has a LOT of options and decent guides on how to use it (or process astrophotos in general) seem to be few and far between. Anyone know of any decent guides?
Cheers
