Popular Post Mostlycloudy Posted April 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2020 Tried M51 last night, total of 1 hour at ISO 1000, @ 500 mm, 5D II, much happier with this. Threw lots of dark and flat frames in, seems to have removed the stripes in the image. Now just need to figure out where all the colour went in the image. The GIMP software looks very promising, got to love free software. Any suggestions? +Glafnazur, BAZ, +seven_legs and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I use IRIS. It's also free. I first used it for normal photo editing but it is really a dedicated astrophotography editing software. It's fairly old now (last release was in 2010) and that shows in it's GUI but it has some very powerful tools that are really straight forward to use once you come to terms with it's idiosyncrasities. It can also run scripts so these days I use Excel VBA to generate them and just let it get on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentrunning Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I like the really wide field, it's tempting to crop down to the galaxy but this looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
