Narrowband

This processing business is tricky . . .


Recommended Posts

I'm an absolute beginner (although I know which end of the camera to point at the subject) so I thought I'd start on the moon a few days ago. Since then I've been playing about with various bits of free software and have come here to be told that I need more practice.  😀  Do your worst.

 

I hope I am allowed to post this in this particular forum, being the moon an' all. I was hoping to try my hand at a couple of DSOs  but we've had a lot cloudy skies recently and 3 days ago went into a full lockdown. The cloud disappeared for a few hours last night but humidity was high and the seeing was poor and without being able to go to a better site than my garden, I had a couple of beers instead.

Thanks Scotty. Camera is a Canon EOS 800D with a Sigma 100 - 400 tele lens. I've stuck the camera onto my telescope (a SW Startravel 120) and taken some pictures but there was a lot of chromatic abberation that I couldn't get rid of. At the time I was waiting for the declination bracket for my star Adventurer to arrive - it now has, so I can be a bit more adventurous now. 

As for processing, I got this result with Photoshop CS2 which I have on my computer (but have no idea how it got there) I think it's pretty old.  😀 I had no idea what I was doing with Gimp but with a bit of YouTube advise managed to do something with PS.  Going to try Siril next.
