Radman40 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Nice one. Would look good as an illustration in a Sci Fi book. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlight 1 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I can see one may be a star as it look a long way over to the right hand side 3" up & 2" in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're definitely there. 2 of them (I stand corrected) I took your image and fettled with curves then a little highlights dodge to emphasise once I had the contrast.

Scooot Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 Oh yeah, I’ll have to go & look on the PC now thanks for pointing them out. edit I still have a lot to more learn processing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Excellent picture Richard, and a great job John! I had been sitting here thinking I could see a moon or two, but nothing I did made them stand out any better. Mind you that is on my phone!! Great result!

Scooot Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 Thanks Stu, I’ve just spent the past hour or so trying to bring them out in PixInsight. I can do it but not as well as a John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that star (didn't spot it until Starlight pointed it out) is Lambda Virginis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooot Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 So what’s the better image? Normally I’d say the first because the second is more noisy, but the second is now much more interesting, so I think I prefer that despite the noise.

johnfosteruk Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I prefer the second because it contains more information. Only pixel peepers will be bothered about the noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky safari for confirmation Great job on that John. I’m just wondering if you put that through Registax and did an RGB align, whether that would improve it even more? Or maybe you’ve already done it? I’m in bed now so can’t do it! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
