Thank you all for sharing your opinions. This tool looks powerful, but I don't know if I want to pay $60 for it. Not for the moment. Clear skies, Vlad

Hello everyone! I'm really new to astrophotography and image processing. I've worked with Photoshop on some DSO images in the last days. I saw a lot of people using astronomy tools actions set. Is this worth buying? Does it make some major differences? Thank you, Vlad

Wow ! That's breathtaking. Clear skies, Vlad

I'm so glad I made a good impression.🤩 I thought M31 is a failure, with that bright stain in the lower right. Now, all that positive feedback made me happy.😊 I'll consider stacking with no darks as you have suggested and also lowering the ISO. The next step is to get some gear for guiding. Thank you all for your feedback. I really appreciate it!

Great! I'll keep that in mind. Thank you!

I will go with more calibration files for the next session. I guess StarGaZine is a YouTube channel. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your kind words and for your advice.

Didn't think about it. I'm sorry about that. Here are the resized pictures

Hello everyone! These are my first DSO photos. Also, this is the second time I've used Adobe Photoshop.😁 My purpose for this thread is to share with you my first try and to gather constructive feedback, to help me improve my skills (use of equipment, stacking, image processing, etc.) M31 - Andromeda Galaxy Imaging telescope: William Optics Zenithstar 61 Imaging camera: Canon 450D Mount: ES EXOS-2 PMC8 (unguided) Field Flattener: William Optics ZS61 A Software: DSS, Siril and Adobe Photoshop Lights: 75 x 60s ISO 800 Darks: 15 Flats: 20 Bias: 20 Andromeda 07.11.20.tif M45 - Pleiades Imaging telescope: William Optics Zenithstar 61 Imaging camera: Canon 450D Mount: ES EXOS-2 PMC8 (unguided) Field Flattener: William Optics ZS61 A Software: DSS, Siril and Adobe Photoshop Lights: 60 x 60s ISO 800 Darks: 15 Flats: 20 Bias: 20 Pleiades 07.11.20.tif I appreciate any kind of feedback!

Thanks everyone, for the warm welcome.

Hello, 3 weeks ago I got my first scope, an Achro Skywatcher 120/1000mm EvoStar BD. I've been able to see some nice views over Jupiter, Saturn and also Mars (it was so low in the sky that I barely saw it). Hope to see some nebulas tonight . I'm sure I will learn lots of things on this forum . I'm glad to be here ! Cheers, Vlad
