I have just started using a monochrome ccd camera and the files are saved as FITS format fies which I have tried tried in MaximDL and CCDstack (demo) for aligning and stacking and then combining - ok so far. Now the final image as a FITS file, if I then convert it to a TIFF it loses a lot of info as it looks quite different in CCDstack and if then opened in Photoshop, it looks dramatically worse. Images attached showing the screen capture of the FITS in CCDstack, then the TIFF, then the TIFF in photoshop, then the TIFF stretched in PS. (No Darks or Flats as yet). Can anyone suggest a different process for getting these successfully into PS somehow? Thx for any help
