I finally got around to processing some shots of Lulin from last Friday night.
First one is a crop from a wide view taken through a 40D with 100mm lens piggybacked. 16x60sec + darks & lights.
2nd shot is through a 100ed. 20x30sec + darks & lights.
Stacked in DSS then photoshop (learning curves and levels etc as I go ).
Its the light pollution that kept me to the short exposures (just more of them). Attached is the stacked but unprocessed wide 60sec wide angle shot that I took that night. Its brighter at the bottom of the image which I am putting down to not getting good flats which is why I cropped it. My photoshops skills are not good enough yet to fix it. But I'm still working on that.
I tried longer exposures but the shot became very washed (white) out.
Maybe time to look into some filters.
