Rosette Neb., 1st go

[gary1968]

My 1st go at this...... 8x10min, darks and bias. ZS66, WO Mk1 flattener, 1000d, CLS clip, HEQ5 guided. I'm pretty pleased with this, although I might have pushed it a bit far but I wanted to see how much I had caught.

(2 nights in a row, never had that this winter yet...... )

Anyway, comments, advice & crirism welcomed.

nice stuff never done a guided shot of the rosette alway a bit low and near trees.

But i know it faint so.. nice stuff.

I would suggest flats, but everthing else looks good

Sweeeet!

You need to get some flats sorted out and it looks like you may have clipped the blacks a little? Did you do a levels adjustment and maybe move the black slider a little to far?

Some trailing, but not bad at all, I'll have a play later if you don't mind...

Yeah, thats nice Nadeem. Much smoother and less noise.

Go on then, what did you do.......

Well ran it through Gradient Exterminator 1st, Adjusted the Levels, lowered the green level slightly & increased the red a little, clipped the black a bit so it would stand out more, a slight adjustment using curves. Used Unsharp Mask & reduced the noise a little, all using PSP.

Cheers

A reprocessing of this by Psycobilly, thanks Peter.

A good deal less noisy and not as savage as my processing.......

[Deneb]

It looks a lot more positive & evenly processed.
