NGC6992

This image is the result of stopping to work with my laptop , who is near his end after 10 years it seems and the introduction for me to the marvel called Raspberry Pi .

it was a nice experiment which learned me to use remote controlling my telescope, cameras,... . it was also a baptising for me to learning to work with SSH , VNC,.... all things i never knew till it came up to me, to buy a Raspberry Pi and learning Linux.

And i am very pleased how all came out. now my mount keeps tracking. i was also happy with the guiding, online platesolving,... things which gave me some headaches with my laptop.

all processing is done in PI and the TIFF-JPEG is done by Darktable.

Pixinsight is a lovely program to use ones you learn to make and use masks , dare to split up your rgb and working on them sepratly.

Hope you like it , constructive critism is always welcome ofcourse

Looks like you have some good nebulosity there but it's trying to hide behind the stars.

Try some star reduction and maybe darkening the background a touch.

might be indeed a good thing to do some more star reduction , i only applied it once because i never did it in PI. might look up for it first at some tutorials to be sure

or even make just for fun a starless one too .

 

thanks for the input

People have been raving about starnet++, not used it myself but seen some good results. The downside is that I've seen some very noisy results as well.

the update. hope i interpreted the suggestions well

Stars much better and the nebulosity is really showing through now.

Just a little mottling showing on the background though but overall a huge improvement.

Second version is really getting there in my view.

true, the mottling is a result of going maybe a bit to aggressive in my starmask i used for star reduction. but there will be more in the future to keep n mind with hopefully some better results. Also, i will need more subs to take ofcourse. But i am planning to get the whole Veil Nebula in one picture , but first see how i do on ohter subjects too. no rush
