Here is the final processing of my image of Centaurus 'A' with a Modded Toucam.
Bert restacked and reprocessed it from the raw images I sent him. He stacked the brighter ones with RegiStar as well as the dim ones.
That gave him two images that he then got rid of any gradients with
GradXterminator. Then used EasyHDR to produce an image with more dynamic
range. That is why the stars look better as they came from the dimmer image.
Photoshop to clean up hot pixels and some levels and curves. Then he even used a bit of Richardson Lucy enhancement to get better detail in the Galaxy.
After Bert returned the final image, all I did was run it through Loreal to take care of the Black-eyed stars.
Thanks Bert
