Hello all had a great sky last night,although the moon was out,but nice all the same,had great guiding with 300 sec subs,

I got 2 hours of the Cresent neb but with my basic gimp and basic processing knowledge i thought i would have had a better image than i did,so was wondering could any one see what they can get out of my data,

20x300 sec lights.

20x bias.

20x flats.

I had to stretch it a fair bit, but some of the surrounding nebulosity is starting to show.

I use Photoshop, tried Gimp once when I was on holiday with my travel kit and no photoshop and just could not get on with it.

I always think this target is better and more sensitive in narrowband and not very rewarding in RGB.

Just levels and Curves, colour balancing, and increase of colour saturation near the start as stretching tends to wash out the colour.

All in Photoshop CS3.

Oh and a slight gradient exterminator.

Thanks for sharing. I thought I would give it a go given the awful weather. Used PS and Lightroom.  Think its overdone but gave me a challenge.

Thanks .  Got some of the software but certainly still short on the knowledge part.
