CaptainShiznit Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Probably the happiest I've been with a final image so far. I know it's not perfect but I'm still very happy with it. Would still be more than happy to receive criticism to improve! 54x180s guided @ISO800 10 dark / 30 flat / 50 bias Stacked in DSS, processed in Photoshop Gear in signature 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danield06 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Looks good! Maybe you could use some dithering? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldemar Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) I notice some spherical aberration on the left side of the image. Since it is predominantly on the left side, I would think this is a tilt issue, probably caused by the weight of the camera. If you use a nosepiece for the camera, you may want to try a threaded connection instead. B.R. Edited March 29, 2020 by Waldemar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have APT/PHD set to automatically dither but I haven't looked at the settings. APT announces "dithering started, dithering finished" with very little time in between, between exposures. Do I need to look at the settings and increase the dither? If so, would that be in PHD or APT? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldemar Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 12 pix randomly in PHD seem to be the ideal dithering. If set in both APT as well as PHD that may be counter productive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
