Hi i tried my new cls clip LPF out last night and took a sries of subs using my 50mm nifty fifty lens.

I've stacked them in deep sky stacker and this is the final image.I'm not sure how to get the best out of this image so if anyone can have a play with it your more than welcome I'm sure theres some decent data hiding in there somewhere!

Hi Pete - I'm sure someone will be along with a better version than this, but here's my crack at it. All I did was remove the gradient and apply a couple of very simple level/curve adjustments... You've got a lot of stars there... and very good focus (I'm cr*p at focusing my nifty fifty!)

Wow !!! are you sure thats mine you played with

How do you remove the gradients? I have photshop and have a rough idea on curves etc

I used the live view to focus andy i forgot to add.The seeing also looked perfect to me this morning.

I really enjoyed getting out there again

Hi Peter - Thanks (but wait until the next person comes along...!)

I use Gradient Xterminator - Okay, it's not free, but it works really well. For DSO images, I also use DBE in Pixinsight LE to get rid of gradients (and that's REALLY good!)

(Sadly I seem to be cr*p at using liveview as well... . I guess practice makes perfect!)

I think this software is my next purchase!
