Adreneline Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 This is 13 x SII + 26 x Ha + 34 x OIII, all 180s taken with ASI1600 + Canon 200m, unguided. The plan was to get a lot more SII but clouds and aircraft conspired against me. As and when the opportunity presents itself I might get some more SII, but there again I might not! Pre-processed in APP, starless processed in PI and combined with starfield stretched in PS using lighten layer. As always C&C welcome. Thanks for looking.

mikey2000 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Looks like a fine pile of data to me! I suppose at that focal lenght, the guiding isn't at all needed - the stars look good at Screen Size. I think the pic would benefit from a healthy saturation boost though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha - I'm more of a pastel man myself but I can do that! The CEM25-EC doesn't gain any benefit from guiding that I can see at 135mm - 200mm that I use. In fact the benefit of not guiding is that I can leave it running, go to bed, and if it clouds over and then clears again I don't suffer a total hit. I got pretty fed up with PHD2 deciding to stop imaging and park the OTA because it had lost sight of a guide star. Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adreneline Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Perhaps a blend of the two works better @mikey2000 ? The same image on my Lenovo laptop looks completely different to the one I'm looking at on my MacBook Pro.

I have sgp set to retry every 2 minutes for one and a half hours to try and avoid that.

Thanks for the heads-up on that one - not sure when/if I will use SGP again but it's good to know - it would probably help if I read the manaul! 38 minutes ago, emyliano2000 said: I love it, looks great in my opinion 😍😍 I can find myself tinkering around with layers and blends and curves and sliders for ever - it's knowing when to stop. Glad you liked this particular stopping point. Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
