Thought you might like to see a video /desktop recording of myself processing M97 Owl Nebula from central Guildford using PixInsight LE.

Then select the "Owl Nebula" video.

Makes a change from static photos etc...

Hope you find it interesting.

What a great video! I've never seen anything like that before and I am really impressed with the improvment on the original image - are u really close to the street light causing the light pollution?

Yes it was from a car park ; there was a big discussion about finding somewhere darker but safe, at ...

For the moment I'd rather image from somewhere light polluted but safe than somewhere dark but unsafe.

Thanks for your comments

Will try to post more imaging videos at http://portableastronomer.blip.tv

nice processing work mate, pretty much the same as I do with mine but with PS

[PortableAstronomer]

Hi Catanonia,

thanks for your note. You mention you use similar techniques in PS.

So what do you get in PS (after spending several £hundred) that you don't get in freeware tools such as PixInsight LE ?

I'm very intrigued by what you get (for what you pay for)....
