fwm891 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 With all the wonderful weather lately I've been looking back at some old data and trying out PI to remove gradients etc. This is a grey scale image of ngc7331 and Stephan's Quintet.

Daz Type-R Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Now that is awesome - lost count of the amount of galaxy's that can be seen, cracking good detail on the main one, love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwm891 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 thats a belter sometimes I do think PI processed images are a bit too black in the background Thanks Steve, It's all personal prefs really. I don't like over processed images. Taking the background much darker would loose quite a bit of the wisps around SQ, but PI certainly improved the detail in 7331's disc.

It is indeed I had a go with a trial of PI a couple of years ago and to be honest struggled with it.I think I managed 1 image with it. If I get a good run of work I may have another try at it Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
