Milkyway - Cygnus Rift Nikon D200 Sigma 10-20 @ 10mm

[Psychobilly]

I looked through the Raws from last night and only 3 of 10 frames were really cloud free so wasn't able to produce the deep stack that I was hoping to do

This is the first attempt at processing those 3 frames stacked in DSS and further processed with NCAA and GradientXTerminator in PSCS3 curves,levels etc...

DSS reported over 13k stars....

Need to sort out the remaining glow in the corners and on the top edge...

13 Thousand stars.... not bad for a nights work.

I like it, some nice detail.

Still working on the data trying to work my way around the clouds in the subs...

Here's the latest WIP

Hoping there still more to come out of the data...

Wow Billy, that's a heck of a lot of stars

Been playing with ImageJ and created a 3d surface plot of the rift...

Another way of looking at the data ...

Good image Billy, lots of stars and data in there. Proven by your 3D surface plot of the rift. Interesting, never seen that done before - how did you do it?

Using ImageJ...

Converted the image to grayscale the use one of the analysis tools...

Thought it would be an interestiugn way to view the data...

Might pay the MW another visit tonight
