Hi everyone

Full moon, so no chance of dslr imaging. Or is there? We had a visitor wanting to learn the ropes. The advantage is the light: you can see and explain what you're doing. The disadvantage is the light; horrendous gradient. Never thought we'd get anything like. Just look at that mess😲

Amazed when the end result popped out. Moral: don't discount moonlit nights. Especially when you're explaining to someone. Cheers and thanks for looking.

Very nice,  and a good opportunity for your friend to also learn how to remove gradients/light pollution. 

What program did you use to process it?

Hi

We used Siril. Not perfect; there's a bit of moon creeping in at the bottom. Maybe we'll have another go. Or just GIMP it.

Cheers

Are you using any filter? I just purchased OPT L-eNhance duo band filter,  can I use it on starclusters is is it better if I remove it and just go with my modded dslr? 

 

And how many subs did you take?

Hi

No. Try with and without? Best without if you can otherwise you get strange looking star colours.
