A great image.

I wish we could image that from the Southern Hemisphere

but the highest it rises from Melbourne is 21 degrees.

Possible improvements? - some stars look a little hardened on the full size image?

 

cheers

Thanks Allan,

sure, there's always room for improvement, im no Pixinsight expert by far, i do the best i can with trail and error, but at a certain point i get sick of it and trow it online 😊

I already did some convolution on the stars maybe i'll do some more...

Sure but it's the sharpening of stars or deconvolution that causes them to look hard.

Yes indeed, so i did some convolution to make the cores a bit softer again

That's better but here is a short video that shows you how

to do deconvolution without hardening the stars:
