Tibbz2 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Tried these last night, was pretty misty and in the garden near a light so not optimum conditions, but hey ho.

dawson Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Tibbz they ate simply great. Lovely rich starty backgrounds to the main star sequences. I can't see if M31 was visible as i've only seen on my phone, but i hope so. Really fantasic work. I told you all that frustration would pay off. Are you going to build a whole night sky?

Tibbz2 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Post the other version you did in the SB I'll try tomorrow to make an even better one another victim to the dark side nice start Yup Tibbz they ate simply great. Lovely rich starty backgrounds to the main star sequences. I can't see if M31 was visible as i've only seen on my phone, but i hope so. Really fantasic work. I told you all that frustration would pay off. Are you going to build a whole night sky? Jd I think we resolved that it is (just) visible! (And the double cluster) No. Not with the LP from the Mason Bros depot in the North anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 My point is EVERYTHING is much more visible in the other one Fair enough, will wait to see what you wrangle from it tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibbz2 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 My point is EVERYTHING is much more visible in the other one Fair enough, will wait to see what you wrangle from it tomorrow I know that now, but I didn't know how much better at the time Can't be any worse, I only pushed the curve up a bit for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tibbz2 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Well I couldn't find any simple explanations of processing so I just messed around with it myself...

Guest Ely Ellis Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Very nice Tobias, noticed you have a faint double cluster below Cas. and down to the bottom Mirphak. Well done. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibbz2 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Thanks Unfortunately faint, but there still I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Nice one Tobias. One thing I have learned with the dark side, getting the images is the easy bit compared to processing them. You are doing well and remember you are only on step number 3 on a very steep hill and its a long way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are doing well and remember you are only on step number 3 on a very steep hill and its a long way up. Thanks, and yes processing looks pretty tricky... Is there any way to learn the basics of processing astro widefield images? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 There are many, many, MANY different tutorials out there and everyone does it their own way. I like this one, I don't use this method any more but it's one I used previously Probably more relevant to deeper objects but should give you a grounding in what you are trying to do with curves and levels >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnPII6YdVBc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
