willcastle Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I think you have great detail and the exposure is really nice. I think the colours are slightly off for my personal preferences though? It looks very blue-white. My attempt looked a lot more red 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alacant Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Hi. Not sure what software you have, but you could always use your 'phone. I had a quick play. There's some nice detail. Edited February 3, 2020 by alacant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EG Mount, scope, camera, if guided, how many exposures, and what software you're trying to process with. Anyhow, it looks like a good start - you're on the right tracks!

carastro Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Post up your Tiff file on here and see what others can do with it. If your camera is an unmodified DSLR you won't get as much colour or detail as a modified one. Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony1979 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Ive actually tried to put my tiff file on but it kept coming up as a error..... Equipment.. skywatcher 150p, nikon d3500 unmodded ( i have a D40 aswell) EQ-5 with Enhanced motors No guiding.... Stacked in dss and processed using GIMP 2.10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy-kat Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Could use drop box and upload your file there and then add a link to it on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aramcheck Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 With GIMP I've found the successive stretching, as shown in this video, works quite well:- https://youtu.be/fkldylli094?t=1088 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few things to think about. Use raw NEF files if possible rather than JPEGs - to be safe set camera to take both if possible but I think DSS will will run nef files. If you aren't guiding then when use higher iSO, maybe 1600. the exposures may look grainy but you can shorten the exposure time and take more of them. The noise will come out in the stack. Don't forget calibration files, especially darks and bias, ideally flats too. Maybe you're already doing all that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony1979 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Thanks... I always use raw files.... So i need to raise the iso and shorten the exposures to like 20 sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i need to raise the iso and shorten the exposures to like 20 sec If you can see any trails at all then shorten the exposures and up the ISO - but if your tracking and polar alignment is good ie your stars are nice and round, then just do more of the same. Have you done calibration files too, ie darks and bias and flats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony1979 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 I can do darks and bias but still trying to get my head around doing flats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
