carastro Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 It looks like you didn't apply flats, you'd be able to reveal more detail with flats applied. I can see some whispy stuff at the bottom bright star. Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony1979 Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 No i havent done flats before... Ive read about how to do them but im finding it a bit complicated to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carastro Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Yes flats can be difficult for the beginner, but if you can learn to do them they make a world of difference to the processing and final result. Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarsG76 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Looks like my first M45... keep at it... use flats and bias too, it'll improve your image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony1979 Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 When do you take these flats before during or after imaging... Can i not take some now and add them to the image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
