Fantastic capture and ditto processing!

Dave

Hi BrendanC

Click the "Load" tab (1).
Untick muli-channel/filter processing and Multi-Session processing.
Click on Light.
Choose your fit or tif file. 
This then appears at the bottom of the screen. Dubble click and it then appears in the image viewer.
Then tab "Tools" (9) on the left for gradient reduction etc. 
Stretch and saturation  can be found on the righthand side.
Once you get used to it it's one of the best on the market!
The website is full of tutorials and the forum is a good place for problem solving

Success

How can the Optolong filter affect the darks?

Dave

You need to go to the tools tab and choose remove light pollution, awesome!

Hi Andy, at the bottom of the actions palette there is an action called "as layer on top". If you use this after your action, you can use the layers adjustments to control the strength.

I use it all the time!

Seems like a great piece of software. I've set up most things, only I can't seem to find a link on the internet to the sky atlas needed for the object browser!

I have tried PA using Sharpcap a couple of times. I have a question regarding the "moving" of the RA axis. Can this be rotated by disengaging the clutch and rotating, with the mount turned off, or with the mount turned on and "slewing with the Hand Set, or doesn't it matter which!

Thanks in advance for replies.
