+Graham Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Had another go at this but with the Atik this time. Due to work I can only manage a couple of hours a night so this is more of an experiment to see if it would work. Helios 127mm Frac Atik 314 L 8 x 600 second subs on each panel. 21 Flats 21 Bias Stacked each set in DSS Loaded the 2 autosaves into PS 6 to crop the edges and adjust so the backgrounds were the same colour. Saved both Panels and stiched them together in ICE, saved the result as a TIF. Loaded TIF back into PS 6 and processed. Not too bad a result considering the lack of time.

oldfruit Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Graham you are certainly pulling a lot of detail from your images, despite short exposure times etc. Loving the detail. Keep em coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_Paul Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) Thanks for sharing Graham. Especially interesting is the fact you stitched with ICE. I've been looking at software for deep sky mosaic work and free is obviously better if it does the job. I was a bit at the cost of RegiStar so I'll try ICE PixInsight has a mosaic script so I'll be using that when I have a few panels. Regards.

Thanks Mark, I do my best Thanks for sharing Graham. Especially interesting is the fact you stitched with ICE.

Paul I have used ICE on a 30 panel Mosaic of the moon so it is pretty good for a free one. The only thing you need to remember to do is gently crop the edges of each panel to remove the stacking artifacts before you stitch them together. By doing this you will remove the 'joint lines' . I also keep all the panels as 'TIF' files so I can then put the completed mosaic back into Photoshop to do the processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
