Love your work Mike, lovely image - so when will you move up to a cooled dslr

[gregbradley]

Yeah MIke, how's about a cooled 40D for the AG12?

Actually I have a 40D for terrestial and love it.

You're a funny guy Mike....I really did get a laugh out of your string of wingding smilies.

Of course, in CS5, you can now utilise the "content aware" healing brush. You click on the start of the satellite trail, hold down shift, then press on the end of the satellite trail (having adjusted the width of the brush to encompass the trail), and CS5 will then completely replace the satellite trail wth the background pixels...regardless of how they change along the length of the satellite trail. The purpose of holding down shift, is so that the tool draws a complete straight line, as satellite trails tend to be.

Oh, Yeh I'm funny allright ..?... just not that many people laugh

Now that would be a very useful tool, do you use it on the raw sub before calibration?

CS5 huuuuh.....? Hmmm? where to get a copy

Mike

[Martin Pugh]

No, either use it on your masters before combining (although, they are probably still 32-bit FITS at that stage), or just do it once you have your RGB or LRGB TIFF.

You cant get a copy of CS5 - You have to upgrade from CS4!
