Love it well done

All a bit technical for me but it's a fantastic image. Everyone's got an opinion and I appreciate that but credit where credit's due well done

I haven't posted for an eternity so here's one I did Friday night the first time out since April.
IC1318 and surrounding nebula in Cygnus
17 x 300sec @ ISO800 with darks, flats and bias frames
Stacked in DSS processed in Startools and CS6 final noise reduction using Topaz Denoise AI.

I have deleted this post as I can't download the image from flickr using the BBcode it works on the astronomyshed but not on this forum. Has some thing changed?

Can anyone tell me why this doesn't display? It used to when I used this like from flickr. It also works on Astronomy Shed.

I have reworked both images.

Image 1 straight from DSS to CS6

image 2 Startools then DSS and CS6

Thanks guys. The image was taken with a modded camera so it does bring the reds out more

25 x 300 sec @ ISO800 with full calibration frames 
Image 1 is stacked in DSS and just processed in CS6
Image 2 is stacked in DSS and processed in Startools and CS6
I would be intreated to hear any views which one is better. Personally I like image 2. I couldn't get the full colour just using CS6

Has anyone else had issues with the astronomyshed it doesn't appear to be working 

This my best image of comet C/2019 Y4 Atlas taken on 26/03/20.
12 x 150 sec @ ISO 800 stacked in DSS processed in Startools and CS6. 
This gave me a bit of a headache due to amount of green in the image so the colour balance isn't quite correct.

10 x 600 sec @ ISO800
Processed in Startools and CS6

A new one for me
38 x 300sec @ ISO800 and 36 x 300sec @ ISO1600
Processed in Startools and CS6

8 x 300 sec @ ISO800 and 10 x 600 sec @ ISO800
Processed in Startools and CS6

There is so much difference in both of these. You've come on. In leaps and bounds.

I'm not sure what I can do about the stars but thanks for the comments.

It's been a while but here is my latest. My first M31 this year

Stacked in DSS processed in Startools and finished in CS6

Great look forward to it hopefully more stable than astro panel

Can you get it for android

Have now sorted it out on the laptop and it is all ready to go all I need are clear skies and not to be at work on lates and nights. COME ON FRIDAY!!!!!

Yippee have sorted the issue with the adapter silly me just needed to close the config window down. Isn't it funny how it's the silly little thing that throw you. I just need to try it on my laptop watch this space and roll on Friday CLEAR SKIES AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys I am using com3 and have used com6 and 7 I have used 2 different com port/usb adapters but still no luck. I have tried using the synscan v3 choice and the nexstar as it says in the synscan instructions but they don't work. I have just connected it via my com1 port and yipi it worked straight away.

now the only problem is my laptop hasn't got a com port on it and it doesn't seem to work with the com port/usb adapter. Any ideas on that one?

Hi All

I am new to this so here goes.

I am having major problems getting my Synscan EQ5 G/T mount to work with Stellarium. I have followed the advice given but It will not work. When I try to configure Stell scope it keeps saying "No celestron mount connected" or words to that effect. The instructions I got with the mount say that I need to chose celestron nexstar in the third party software but no mater what I do I just can't get it to work. If I had any I would be pulling my hair out.

Can anyone help please?

Dave
