From last night, 50 x 180s, 102mm & ZHO533MC, IR/UV cut filter.
1st time with a totally clear sky, yay. Stacked in APP with default settings with 10 darks added. First image is the stacked image from APP, the 2nd is cropped & fiddled with in PS & LR.
Any suggestions welcome especially how to reduce the bluish fringe around the stars?
Not a guru mate, I dare say the blue is in the processing when using colours etc. I use pixinsight but when I did use PS Ideally remove stars and work on the photo without them. You can shrink the stars using levels and sharpen with smart sharpen. You can then use hue saturation on the stars for better colours. Also put the photos in their own group so its not destructive. For a more natural colour try to keep colours around 20 ish.. the colour sampler tool is useful there..from memory.
