Wow - so much going on in that field Geoff. Are you going to post a full res/size version somewhere?

RickS (Rick) · #3 18-08-2013, 01:47 PM

Another nice one, Geoff. Maybe a little SCNR to reduce green?

batema (Mark) · #4 18-08-2013, 02:59 PM

Beautiful.

Awesome Geoff. Judging by this image and others you've posted, you've had one super productive time at astrofest. Great work on all images. More please, I'm lov'in the recent posts.

ok there is a sea of data there but to me it looks like spilt milk over the lens (far too smoothed). i love the colours and field of view but it is way too noise suppressed for my taste. now having insulted you, can you give me a hint on the performance of the moravian camera. I am thinking of getting one?

David, not insulted at all...I'll blame ACDNR in Pixinsight

I've PM'd you the Camera info

Cheers Geoff

try to use Atrouswavelettransform - much much better, do the noise reduction like I have done for you in the example
