+Graham Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Managed to grab another three hours on this tonight before the clouds moved in. Now stands at 21 hours in HA, OIII and SII Managed to beat this it into a sort of Hubble type pallet. Might be nearly time to put this one to bed and move on to another target.

Allan the Plumber Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Looking good there Graham ! Know what you mean about getting as much data as you can and then saying after many hours processing etc that’s enough ? +Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithysteve Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Cracking piece of work, lot of time and effort... but a great result! ? I had not heard of this one, so I was wondering... (a few dumb questions ...) This seems a very obscure object to pick Graham, with so many objects to pick from, (e.g. the bubble neb is approx 1 degree from SH2-157), what inspired you to choose this object? If you had the right conditions, and the right object, just how much data would you be prepared to capture (in hours)? We look and marvel at your work, and everyone else’s on this forum, there are some amazing images and they get better... Are you personally ever ever totally chuffed with the end results? Keep em coming! Cheers! ? +Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Thanks folks but please hold your horses on this one. Do not quite know what is going on here but that image is absolutely appalling. For some reason it has been distorted , the colours have exploded into a garish mess and it looks completely over exposed. I will look into this and load up a proper one. Stephen I love the obscure and little known stuff. If I had the right conditions and the right object ??? there would be no time limit. 30 hours plus per channel would be a good starting point at a rough guess. The answer to your last question is no. I am never satisfied with the result mainly because I am crap at the processing part. I simply do not have the patience or knowledge to do the images I take real justice. More practise and more instruction is definitely needed. Smithysteve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) I will try again. No that looks even worse Edited November 11, 2017 by Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithysteve Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I thinks it is better! The stars are more defined... you need more data Graham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 You could be right Stephen more data. What I really need is to be able to upload the TIFF image. I think converting it to JPEG is killing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 yes if you could upload the data or tiff we might see what's happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) More than happy to upload the three stacked data tiffs onto dropbox if anyone cares to have a play with them. Edited November 11, 2017 by Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Graham Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Well hopefully this will work. Dropbox link to the Stacked data files. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/25urpjdb1tgcv13/AAD7DgvnON_h_ar0Iq2j4lVra?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werisit Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Looks good to me. On my screen it actually looks 3D! +Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Looks a lot to me like you have killed the data by clipping most of it out at the blackpoint. The histogram has no space at all at the bottom end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Try this Mike Saved with a screen stretch on These are done without the stretch. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5t90ffeo8uf3t0d/AAC_6g8BjL0rG535uWxjxSVza?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
