Astro Waves

Hiya, When you're collecting data from different sessions whats the best way to go about processing it as in do you collect data from one night stack it, edit then repeat the same process for the next time and then overlay the images and create a final image that way oooorrr just keep on collecting data after data then stack it all at once and do a final edit that way and blending in different exposures if you have them? Cheers

Hiya, I'm also a redact user shooting on an unmodded Canon 5D MK III. I always do a bit of cropping as 250mm focal length is very wide field in astrophotography terms. Its always worth having a look at tutorials online and watch peoples processes with the same telescope and see what they do, I find that a good starting point of what to shoot. Chances are you're always going to be cropping into an image some what. You've also got a crop sensor on the 650D which I would say helps as well. For reference this is a cropped in image I got the other day of the Orion Nebula, this was about 25 minutes of integration time. Subs were 90 secs.....I think.
