I've had some pretty good nights here in beginning of March. Cold though, -12°C to -17°C.I still have alot to learn with post processing, but I really enjoy Pixinsight and I'm making slow progress.

davew 907 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Those images are terrific. So crisp and clean for imaging from 60* north. How do you even see Orion from that far up ? Although you are already better than me at DSLR imaging can I make some suggestions ? ( It wouldn't be me if I didn't )At the temperatures you are shooting at and the exposure times, it may be best to leave Darks alone for now and see how you go on. Just a few darks will add noise to the image.Do loads of bias frames. 50 would be better ! Also do at least 20 flats. It all helps to smooth out the calibration frames.Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites
