    Thanks for this reco! I'll try this out. I guess I adjusted the curves already before I did the white balancing.

    This worked wonders!! Thanks for this suggestion. I believe this is better since I think this doesn't clip out the data but just lessens it compared to adjusting it via Levels

    I don't raw convert my images before stacking and I just put the raw files directly into DSS. Should I raw convert them first?

    I'll check out Siril. So far I'm only using DSS and Photoshop. For the levels, when you're choosing a specific channel do you clip the data if its more than the other colors? I.e. for my case should I clip the red data in the levels just to have them equal?

    Here are the histograms for each photo. I'm thinking that the red hue/tint is because of the wider field of reds in the image. Not sure if I should clip it to get the original color of the target.

    Any tips on how I can balance the colors on my images from my astromodified Canon350d? I already tried balancing the colors on the histogram when I edited these photos but I still can't remove the reddish tint (specially for the Omega Centauri).

    It has been 1 year since I posted this topic thread and I only found out now what was causing the dark streaks. I disassembled my camera and I noticed that the dark streaks was actually inside the sensor itself and not in front of the sensor or inside the telescope. Just had to wipe it clean and voila no more streaks. Thanks to everyone that helped! See images below fyr.

    I tried imaging M101 here in our Bortle 5 neighborhood and it was sort of tough due to the light pollution but I think I was able to pull off a bit of data. My problem now is that I was able to increase the visibility of the galaxy through stretching but in the process the background noise also increased. I also noticed that my galaxy and stars are a bit orange/reddish compared to the other M101 shots which are kinda bluish in color. Not sure if this is being caused by my astromodded camera but I tried correcting it via Photoshop and this is the best "white balanced" image that I got. Looking for some help in this group maybe someone can have a go with my raw file and share some techniques on how to improve my post processing. The stacking was done via DSS and the processing via Photoshop. I also used Gradient Xterminator and also Astrotools. Here's my edit and I also attached the raw file so maybe you guys can try tinkering with it also. Also open for any suggestions or comments with my initial edit. Thanks! 😁 Light Frames: 189 x 1 min shots @ ISO1600 (yes I still don't have autoguiding) Dark Frames: 198 x 1 min shots Mount: Celestron OmniXLT CG-4 Telescope: Celestron C6N Camera: Canon EOS Rebel XT Hap-Griffin Mod Autosave.tif Autosave.tif

    Hi! I've recently acquired a new Astromodified Canon rebel XT and I've tried to take pictures of nebulas using it but I've noticed that there are these weird black artifacts that keep appearing in my images. Would like to know if anyone has experienced this before? Or are these dirt/dust specs on the camera, filter, and telescope glass? I've attached some of my edited and raw pictures for your reference. The black artifacts can already be seen in the raw image of the horsehead nebula and after stacking I think it got amplified. Anyway, advance thanks and I hope everyone's doing well.

    Wow! These are amazing images! This inspires me to keep on trying shots. I've always thought that you can't get decent photos using EQ3 mounts.
