mightymonoped Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 Had another go at processing, this time without taking the stars out, hopefully retaining better star colour and more detail in the Veil? I think less is more for the whispy Veil nebulosity? Tony 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used Starnet++ on the veil, and found it removes stars, but also some of the fine wispy details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmot Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I know you posted these pics hoping for comments on the Nebula image, but I haven’t yet stopped looking at the pic of your scope. Anything that looks that good should perform brilliantly!😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkAR Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Very nice image Tony, just wondering if the black point has been clipped a little. It gives you a darker background and hides a bit of noise but you can lose faint wispy details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have another go over the weekend maybe, as there is little chance of any clear skies here. Thanks 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
