M31 you never see again

[Starlight 1]

After a about 8 weeks try to got every thing running again . clear night all going well 2 hours on M31 9x 500S lum 5x 500 S  R/G/B, and somthing  not right in the camera data . So just for fun I ending up with this. PS I am no good at imaging that way I do not do it.

Not sure about RGB etc as I use a Full Colour camera. This type of image I get when light polution gets in the way. I use a IDAS light polution filter to over come this effect.

Maybe someone with more knowledge will be able to confirm or ...

LP a side, that's a nice image, theres loads of detail in it, you should play a bit more with the data be conservative with brightening too hard. charl.

Nothing much amiss with your Image.   I've seen much worse than this.                 Mastering the processing is key to presenting the finished article.   You mustn't despair, or throw the towel in. Also dispense with the negative attitude, it won't help.  I'm looking to embark on the the Imaging journey myself this dark season, and I expect to find it difficult.  The amount of help available on SGL, is there to be asked for. These guys won't shy away from providing assistance for you. Just have to ask.

I can not work it out but every file when trying do any process on omage sets come back at writing code= 105  so I can not do any thing with the data.

[Star101]

OK, may I ask. Did you take any FLATS and use in the processing?

I it may be I was playing with the camera setting in SGP as it was taking the images  at it never done this in the pass . (So I just work this one out (STOP PLAYING WITH CAMERA SETTING )

Hi. Try to remove the lp. This wf is for GIMP 2.9, but I'm sure PS will do the same:

• Duplicate layer
• select the new layer
• move it to the top
• blur the top layer (there are different blurs but Gaussian is a good starting point)
• Subtract from the original (start at say 50% opacity)

HTH and clear skies.

EDIT: Oops. Just re-read this. I think 'PS' is not implying what I had originally thought. Sorry!

Look like it was bad data when removing from shed , went and got it again from computer and its all ok this time PS I put 500s its only 300s each.

Taking data from shed again and not coming up with errors this time,  I made this one in Nebulosity 4 so it the same image with ajustment to make 3 images  and combine the 3 images to this one. RGB 5 x300S Lum 9x 300s bin 3x3.

Looking much better now.  Nice image.

Well I added about 15 more RGB 300s subs to this one With SGP doing every thing on auto and I was in my back room untill I could see the Moon started to light up the shed, all old and new subs line up well so good news. not done much with this one.
