I previously purchased the Samyang 135mm (Canon mount) and I used it once and it worked well... Unfortunately however, due to a multitude of reasons, I need to move this lens along... it is effectively brand new, fully boxed and comes with the lens pouch/bag and also a 3d printed bhatinov mask which I made. I'm hoping to get back what I paid out as I need to recoup this ideally do I'm looking for offers around the £350 mark... its currently around £440 on Amazon... Please pm if interested. I will put it in the for sale section shortly but thought best to post here amongst the specific users.

I know that the Photoshop apps for Android and Apple are limited paired down versions of the full software albeit Lightroom seems to be half decent, at least to my eyes. So does anyone process their images on a tablet, and if so which one and what software works well. I know the iPad is the market leader and a laptop can be had for less but the convenience of a tablet just fits my needs better.

Thank you

I dont see this Gallery HTH option... can you post a screen print of it?? I see 'gallery' but this shows everyones pics... how do we just find our own quickly

Is the usuable space full?

Brilliant, I will try this...

This is all a bit complicated to take in... how do you subtract one image from another for example... It's SO complicated a photoshop is not intuitive at all.

I had a play and managed to produce a 'more natural' look I think...

I use Photoshop CS2 because I have it and I dont want to pay for the monthly CC versions. I often see reference to processing an image without stars so I use Starnett++ to remove them. My question is, once I have processed the images (one with stars and one without) how do I merge/blend (or whatever you call it) back together. Ive searched Google and watched tutorials but it just is not going in. I dont understand layers or how to work on them or set them up or anything really. I NEED AN IDIOTS GUIDE. Can anyone help me in simple 1, 2, 3 like steps?? This is the best I can get with my processing skills. I just do not understand photoshop at all... Compared to my initial processing attempt:

Thank you... I will check out your vid

Can you clarify what you mean by stretched and unstretched images as I'm confused. I stack in siril... do some simple processing and deal with the histogram then save it... do I remove the stars then in starnett++?? Then process the removed stars image in photoshop... I'm confused

Thank you... I was surprised bh the number of stars... I was hoping to bring out more nebulosity in the main star field but I struggle at that point.

The Plaides from Bortle 4 skies in Yorkshire. 30 x 180s lights 30 x flats 60 x bias Unmodded 1100d AZ-GTI (EQ and tracked) Samyang 135 Stacked in Siril and processed in Lightroom. Not brilliant but getting better

The Veil (with some processing help from the forums) 55 x 180s 30 flats 60 biases Unmodded 1100d AZ-GTI mount (eq/guided)

That looks very good to my eyes. Thank you, I appreciate the effort. I always think that part of the trouble with processing is that, until you get enough experience under your belt, you just don't know what can be achieved from any given image so you never know when to stop or if going any further will just do nothing, or worse take the image backwards.

I appreciate the effort... I tried using starnett++ (or whatever it is called) so I could try and just bring out the nebula but I got lost with how to then put the stars back into the image in photoshop. I really need to learn some processing skills!!!!!!!

Thank you. It certainly captured a lot of stars!!! I was surprised just how many

Agreed. I'm on the lookout for an asi533 colour camera. Hopefully one will pop up in the for sale sectiob

A cropped view to try and concentrate on the veil itself.

So I have had a play, which is not saying much as I am inherently useless as this part of the process! A little overdone perhaps

That's a fair point... Is there anyway that this can be resolved... save for a dedicatedbastro camera? Would any filters help on an unmodded camera or do I need to mod the dslr??

Managed to image with it and the result seemed OK after flats/bias frames... or at least to my eyes? It is defo the canon version of the lens.

I once again call for help (like Gotham calling for Batman) with the processing of this image. It is the veil nebula taken with my new Samyang 135 (first light with the lens) with my unmodded 1100d 180s lights x 55 30 flats 60 Biases Initial process in Siril attached as a Tiff.

Not sure what I'm supposed to be looking for but it did have a lens hood and this is the box info??
