kirkster501 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 From November 2019. This seven hour data set is capable of getting much more out of it than I am getting here. I really struggle with these distant small galaxies in processing and need to keep practising. They were nice and clean LRGB masters at at one stage but get progressively noisier the further I go and I lose definition in them. Anyway, TEC140 and CCD Atik 460 and Astrodon filters. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Incredible, astounding amount of galaxies in this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloz1664 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 That's an "eye opener" Steve. You have processed it very well from my prospective. Amazing. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommohawk Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Lovely image! So many galaxies... its mind blowing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkster501 Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Thanks. I think I am trying to reduce the noise too much at the linear stage and destroy some of the detail. I am going to have another go tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloz1664 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 If you are using Pixinsight I tend to use MLT on the Linear stage prior to HistTransform. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkster501 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Yes Steve, but I think I have to tone down this noise reduction. I just applied it to the first two wavelet layers on this occasion and I like the result better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinFransson Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Wow, that´s deep. I think you could back off on the noise reduction even more. The background looks too smooth and I´m sure you are losing the smallest and faintest galaxies there. Also, I find that a small amount of noise makes the image look more "real". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkster501 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Thanks guys. I will give it another go tomorrow. This is a hard earned data set and I want every photon to count in it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinB Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 This image certainly has the wow factor. It is the sheer enormity of what is in view. An image to be appreciated by non astronomers as much as by imagers. I've not gone looking for noise so haven't seen any! Have you tried mure denoise?

kirkster501 Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 I'm going to have another go at this over the next few days. There is seven hours of data in this picture, so many galaxies at 220 million light years. Humbling isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
