Another M27

I took this a couple of weeks ago and had almost given up on it because I couldn't remove the terrible light pollution gradient.

I found this tutorial today and found it so easy to use and it's given me a bit of a boost.

I don't have light pollution to worry about but you have done wonders with that.

Olly.

Ian thats really impressive you wouldn't think it's the same image.

[RichieJarvis]

WOW!

Thats amazing! Good job, and thanks for the link.

It is amazing what a bit of post processing can do. I too have a badly light polluted location. You may also find the following link of use.

Stunning what can be done these days ....

[Beyond_Vision]

It's great work Ian and the difference is like chalk and cheese. It's a good example of what can be done with post processing and should encourage others who think they have bad data to persevere with the processing side of things.

How many subs did you stack for that image?

[Keagle]

Wow, the difference on that Ian is stunning! Hardly believe the data is the same - the detail that can be pulled out when you've got the hang of it is incredible!

Thanks guys

Cheers Kevin, I have quite a few sets of data like that lying around - rainy day data now I think.

Hi Beamer - it was 45 subs of 60 seconds with 15 darks, taken with the 10" newt / Canon 400D at prime focus.

Hi Kurt, I wouldn't say I've got the hang of it, but I'm learning all the time :? . Have you decided which way you're going now, are you keeping the mount?

Cheers,

Ian
