gonzostar Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Hi This is my attempt of M27 and in bottle 5 skies. Was surprised to get some of the faint stuff. Followed some procedure from Ags thread last week. Although not sure how to reduce size of stars in PS Camera : ZWO 385MC camera with a Optolong L-eNhance filter L- Telescope : ES102mm APO AT f7 on a AVX mount Settings used in sharpcap. Gain 135 Integration time around 12 hours using 120s subs. Darks and flats used, Finished in PS. Of course pointers for improvement welcome included the tiff file if you would like ago Cheers Dean 11hr40crop16bit.tif 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoonjim Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 FWIW Had a quick play with your image. I think maybe didn't quite nail focus (?) Had to crop a lot because of stacking artifacts. Think I could have stretched more out of the shell but would take more time and faffing. Nice Dumbbell though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzostar Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 Thanks for having a go. looks good. I tried to use gaussian blur to get the faint stuff. Probably didn't quite get that right. Is this a bit better? Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ags Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I have found I can get fainter details by using GraxPert AI denoising on the linear image. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
