+RonC Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Looking good Allen, the red looks a little 'thin' if you know what I mean for a modded Canon? (Could be my laptop though!) Good tight stars, impressed!! Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan the Plumber Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 excellent Allan, that filter has made a differance, nice background Thanks guys not happy with processing its either washed out or lacking in colour not getting the processing right Yeah Rob that filter has made a difference less light pollution (orange) I should be home Saturday Rob and i'll drop those dew bands back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Nice one Allan. I do think you can push the curves a bit more and get the pic a bit richer. What's the reason for using bias frames? I thought DSLRs did that automatically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 no rush for the bands Allan, another thing to try in dss is when the finished pic comes up go to the sliders and up the saturation 10 or 15% should help with colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stash Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Nice picture cant comment on the wash out as I no nowt but still looks pretty to me and I would be happy - As someone always says it can only get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the reason for using bias frames? I thought DSLRs did that automatically? Hi Leigh I thought all DSLR images you had to do Lights Darks Flats and Bias in all shots? Have tried pushing up curve but get too much noise in the image not 100% sure with PS processing image have been over Doug Germans tutorials have tried Anna's but it keeps freezing only managed to get her tutorials to play on Ipad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Have you made the curve S-shaped? I add in a subtract/multiply layer to knock the noise down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
