Sheila Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) well decided on a hard target this is as it says the ghost in cepheus. only luminence at the moment 26 x 5 min subs luminence Tak130 extended bias and flats applied needs more data and some rgb so is really a WIP for any constructive advice :lol; http://cdn.astrobin.com/images/thumbs/fe38b32c29f6f1cab316c1d0971c9a8d.1824x0_q100_watermark.jpg http://www.astrobin.com/full/98439/0/ cant seem to get it to put the image in here sorry Edited May 28, 2014 by Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Very nice start more data to follow I hope are you using pix insight y any chance as the background looks a bit black on my monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+RonC Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Looking to be a great image when you've added some data Sheila, not an easy one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Very nice start more data to follow I hope are you using pix insight y any chance as the background looks a bit black on my monitor no using photoshop but the processing was not easy, probably clipped the black a bit, definitely needs more data. the rest of the 4 hours data i got is wrong so i could not include it. will try and stack it together but i am not hopeful as i think the other data will make the image worse. did the wrong gain on the CCD images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Looking good so far, but have to agree with Steve - it's a little dark. Ghost showing up nicely though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwm891 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 That's better - lifted the blacks. Could probably go a bit further but wait till you have more subs - it will be easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Guided whats happened to super mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Guided whats happened to super mount. because 2 of our illustrious imagers keep constantly nagging me about guiding, so i decided to try. makes PA quicker as i dont have to be so accurate, but not as satisfying as knowing your PA is really close and you are unguided Suppose it has its advantages out in the field, nothing wrong with the supermount it can multitask and do either It will help a lot i suppose when i do 30 min subs Edited May 28, 2014 by Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheila Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 You have a stunning image scale and its a beautiful rendition of a tricky target...the only advice is keep plugging away at it thanks, i need loads more data before i attempt the colour in there, and many more tries at processing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 That will be a stunner with some more data. Love the hint at the detached piece on the right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ollypenrice Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Much better unclipped! It really is vital not to black clip this infernal devil of a target. Very well done. Once you have a boundary showing between faint nebulosity and background you can get a lever in there and start prizing them apart with all your processing might. The target is one of the most challenging I've done and one of the most rewarding. The whole lot is really just glorified background sky, after all. Not many UK imagers attempt this, either, so hats off. Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) thanks Olly, yes a realised quite early that this was one difficult target but will keep at it until i get it right Just have to get loads more data and see where it goes Sheila Edited June 3, 2014 by Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
