Hi all,
This shot is a combo of two 90sec 8bit SER files taken with the 10"Newt high at the meridian last Sunday nigh. Processed using AS!3, Registax,PS
Seeing was pretty good 8/ Trans 8.

Watching the rain now for the next three days or so...
Cheers,
Anth

That's really nice. Good colors too. Rain here and clouds too for the foreseeable future.

Good one Anth! Wondering how you combined the 2 files? Did you use Winjupos to derotate?

Dave- I have tried Winjupos in the past once or twice with little luck. These shots were taken back to back so not a lot of rotation present. I basically layered one over the other with a slight manual shift ( this was achieved by setting the transparency to 30% so it was easy to see where it made a perfect overlay. Then boosted it up to 40% using the ‘multiply’ selection, then flatten.
It’s not the most technical way to do this but what it does is add a little depth to the image which helps with colour and overall detail. This being said the single image is probably better in its own right - hard to split any differences to be honest.

Hope this explains it.

Cool thanks. Yeah it’s often a balancing act between colour/depth/smoothness and fine detail. I’ve never had much joy with Winjupos either which is why I asked the question! Nice work mate
