  1. feel free to share the data you got on both versions with the forum. i am not experienced neither. but i am sure some others here can.
  2. This should be done much more , sharing data. hereby my version of your Orion done a bit like i am currently used to do playing a lot with masks and curvetransformation,... in pixinsight and than saving it as a TIFF , opening Darktable and looking what it gives if i pull the highlightslider,...
  3. i prefer the second version, star reduction is certainly worth doing in 'crowded' areas like these. nice job!
  4. also an advantage of a small scope in my opinion is that the image doesn't get too overwhelming with craters. Ilove your image, great job!
  5. Nice done ! and now the misery will start. you will want to do it better, faster and let the money roll . but from my point of view it's worth all the things you'll have to tackle
  6. despite the little hick-ups you had a very nice result. recently i learned remote controlling my scope , still not dare to leave it all alone a night long . now i am trying to save up for an obsie to keep all settled . sooner or later i'll get the habbit to go sleep and let the marvel technique do his thing at night
  7. nice result. you got some good details in it. for your stars if you are using a reducer : experiment with a bit more spacing or less and look upon the result. had the same with mine and after some fidling with a mm extra, less,.. i came to nice stars acros the image (must still post it) Dslr's have indeed a hard time these days with night of 20+ °C . that is why i am happy i bought a cooled CMOS
  8. indeed way better. good job!
  9. look nice. looks like a lot of 130PDS owners have a Evostar72ED as well. i am guilty on it as well. the pds aint bad but man do i love that Evostar72!
  10. nicely done . personally i wouldn't have done a HDRtransform thingy on the image. but that is personal flavor ofcourse. Keep up the good work
  11. i saw it pass on Astrobin , amazingly done!
  12. my humble version with some hings done in PixInsight : color calibration and background thingy , DBE (division), DBE(substraction) , rangemask , curvetransformation ,GAMe mask , curvetransformation , L-extract , HDRtransformation, starmakst , morphylogical tranformation, historgramtransformation , extract L, R,G,B and LRGB-combination . think that is is more or less oh yes and SCNR did you make raw? or only jpeg? did you used any calibration?
  13. set-up : Skywatcher EQM35Pro , Skywatcher Evostar ED72 with TS fieldflattner , Raspberry Pi4 with EKOS/Kstars ( no Starmate or astroberry) , Idas Hutech LPS2 filter it is all going i the right directions. Hold the wood but all issues ( just spacing Fieldflattner ) seem to be solved average RMS of guiding is improved to 1.15". Remote controll with the PI works like a breeze. whenever i feel the need to stay inside or want to go sleep, i can trust my gear now to do what must be done.
  14. true, the mottling is a result of going maybe a bit to aggressive in my starmask i used for star reduction. but there will be more in the future to keep n mind with hopefully some better results. Also, i will need more subs to take ofcourse. But i am planning to get the whole Veil Nebula in one picture , but first see how i do on ohter subjects too. no rush
  15. the update. hope i interpreted the suggestions well
  16. might be indeed a good thing to do some more star reduction , i only applied it once because i never did it in PI. might look up for it first at some tutorials to be sure or even make just for fun a starless one too . thanks for the input
  17. This image is the result of stopping to work with my laptop , who is near his end after 10 years it seems and the introduction for me to the marvel called Raspberry Pi . it was a nice experiment which learned me to use remote controlling my telescope, cameras,... . it was also a baptising for me to learning to work with SSH , VNC,.... all things i never knew till it came up to me, to buy a Raspberry Pi and learning Linux. And i am very pleased how all came out. now my mount keeps tracking. i was also happy with the guiding, online platesolving,... things which gave me some headaches with my laptop. all processing is done in PI and the TIFF-JPEG is done by Darktable. Pixinsight is a lovely program to use ones you learn to make and use masks , dare to split up your rgb and working on them sepratly. Hope you like it , constructive critism is always welcome ofcourse
  18. and now my remake and very last version. My evostar 72ED arrived and now i must wait clear sky to see how it will preform on M13
  19. to add one to the ongoing 130PDS imaging saga
  20. was thinking the same and it is indeed that i will have to work on the correct spacing. and below is my answer to the gradient thingy
  21. Hello all, yes another M13 shot i did. i discovred i start to have the habbit to photograph this object each time it is up and i have a new piece of equipement to test. This time the new equipement was Touptek ATR3-1600-KPA (OSC Cmos ,much alike Zwo ASI1600-Pro color ) and also a new guidecam : Touptek 2000KMB mono guider. I am actuall quite amazed what came out. realizing this is the second night working with Kstars,... and the cams ofcourse ( once i managed manual focus with guider and main-camera , i went sleeping ). my stars are in all four corners 'quite long' so i think i might have to adapt my Baader MPPC Mk3 coma corrector (also the first time used) a bit. Gain : 0 T° : 0°C exposures: 1*20s , 1*60 , 1*70 and 26*75s. total : 35 mins 15 darks are made and 30 bias. telescope : Skywatcher 130PDS mount : Skywatcher EQM35Pro
  22. some more images of my come-back-to-astrophotography sessions on NGC 4565 it is no vignetting. just trying some new ways to present my images all are taken on an EQM35PRO mount , and a Fujifilm xt-2 mirrorless camera. i am considering an CC for my "little gem" : i am leaning to the Baader MPPC III . or would the Skywatcher itself be a good one? i will also look in the future for a CMOS.. any advice is welcome
  23. congrats to the winners! must pay more attention ( read , checking more often SGL ) for those challenges.
  24. i losen just a tick up my bolt of the Dec axis inside the mount just a tick. and moved the mount head slow left and right till i felt no more 'counterpressure' when going south. i calibrated my guiding and.... no more messages that my south movement was insufficient
