Gabriel Mistral Nebula in Ha

Data collected over two days at two different locations. I'm not TOO unhappy with it but I can definitely improve. First time processing in Pixinsight too with the trial key. Boy is that another bag of worms. The image was a combination of two different exposures due to bad guiding during day 2. I just wish the clouds would stay away!!!

Nice one Tony, looks very interesting.

We have the clouds in common.
Last night as the sun set it was clear as. Started my polar align and then the stars started vanishing one by one...

PI: Do the tutorials!

Looking good Tony. As Peter says - do the PI tutorials (eg light vortex, Harry's astroshed), I even bought Inside PI which I found invaluable.

An amalgamation of these have become preset projects I use for everything from creating masters to calibrating/stacking lights to processing.

I've been using the new DSS 64 bit or calibrating and stacking. I haven't gotten to using pixinsight for that yet, is it better/faster than DSS or are they more or less similar?

Thanks guys,
Tony

Had a go at HaRGB combine using photoshop (havent figured out pixinsight yet). It looks alright but too much fov was removed due to the angle variance.
