My Tutorial PixInsight Workflow for DSLR Images

As part of my involvement within the Gibraltar Astronomical Society, we are getting people to experience astrophotography by getting them to use their DSLRs directly mounted on our equatorial mounts, among other things (e.g. telescopes). This made me realise my website is missing a workflow tutorial relating to colour cameras and even more so, DSLRs. This tutorial is an extensive workflow tutorial of the same style I usually do with monochrome CCD camera tutorials, but for DSLRs, with considerations made for the limits of DSLRs in terms of noise. I hope someone, somewhere will find it helpful!

Thanks - will be reading that closely in the coming weeks

No worries, you're welcome!

Just a quick note: Though targeting DSLR cameras, in effect this is mainly applicable to One Shot Colour cameras.

Can I thank you very much for taking the considerable time to do this stuff. I don't use PI and may never use it ( Old and stuck in my ways ! ). I don't tend to use OSC or DSLRs either but I appreciate your efforts very much and enjoyed the read,

Dave.

What a superb tutorial. 

After a year out of astro imaging I'm looking forward to giving this a go. I'm really a PS man but I have Pixinsight and really need to get to grips with it which I'm sure your tutorial will help with.

Excellent, glad to hear it. Mind you, you can actually use DynamicBackgroundExtraction in Division mode to cancel this out really well. May take two or three tries but it does the job well!

Very nice tutorial, I learnt some things I hope to apply in GIMP :-)
