steviemac500 1,021 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Another one i've not tried for a while. I can see a difference with the modded camera. Comments appreciated. 12 x 5 mins subs, 20 flats, dithered with APT. Cropped as it was taken with the ED80. Processed in PS. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Astrosurf 1,255 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 That's nice! I would balance up the channels in PS to remove the red in the sky. And possibly select just the neb and enhance the colours without affecting the background, or maybe use a mask. You could also do a copy layer, change the blending mode to Colour and then play around with Saturation and Gaussian Blur. Alexxx Link to post Share on other sites
MattJenko 2,470 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Alex is right, there is a colour imbalance here which should be rectifiable. Also, the nebula itself can be pushed a bit harder to brighten it against the background. Got to love the ED80 and its ability to keep stars under some kind of control with a DSLR.

steviemac500 1,021 Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 I've tweaked again and cropped further, pushed it a bit hrder too! What do you think? Link to post Share on other sites
Astrosurf 1,255 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 It's coming on, just a bit of noise. That's why I recommended the G Blur on the colour overlay layer. Did you try that?? Link to post Share on other sites
Scott 5,218 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 for only one hrs subs it's pretty good but I think it'd been pushed too far. I would either back way off the streching and accept that you are limited by the amount of data you have or get a shedload more data...you know you want to Link to post Share on other sites
