Starless Sadr Region (Dusty)

[astro mick]

Hi.

Had a reprocess of my original data,as i was,nt happy with it.

I have come up with a starless image which i think shows a fair bit of dust.

I struggled to put the stars back without it messing with the Nebulae.

If anyone can help s to the best way of doing this,i would be grateful.

See what you think,if awful tell me.

Mick.

I did,nt use sigma clip by accident so a faint meteor trail can be seen.

Ok, then I'll leave it to Photoshop users to help with putting the stars back in  

Nice image though, the nebulosity really pops. I'm not sure what your integration time was, but I suspect that a bit longer will help keep noise levels down and let even more detail come through.

Yes i agree,the temp of the DSLR chip was quiet warm so noise was a prob.But of course no clear skies since.(Integration was 180 sec subs for roughly 2hrs.

Thanks anyway.
