Hello all!
I just start astrophotography, and I'm really struggling to get better result with Rosette. Here is the picture which is stacked in DSS, and it is slightly processed in PS to adjust the background color, and reducing the star size.
I am wondering why my image looks so soft, will that be a focus issue? I am using a bahtinov mask to focus already. The picture in the following link looks much solid/sharper than mine, is it sth that I have to work on in post processing? https://www.astrobin.com/n5b4b0/?nc=user
The structure of rosette is barely visible, is this something that I should work on in post processing as well?
obviously there are a lot issues, but the above are currently what frustrated me, but really any comments and recommendations are welcomed.
Thank you so much!
