Bob-c Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Hi all, i know this time of year is not great for astro as there isn't much dark sky to image in. This is just over four hours image time in 300s..240s and 90s subs of M57 the ring nebula in Lyra, taken this last three weeks. I had to bin around half of the subs taken.

I know the skies are not very dark and there is a full moon, but we still go out on a clear night. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkulin Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Lovely round Stars Bob, you might want to try a tiny bit of HDR in PI. it might just bring some detail out in the nebula. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment John i do not have PI, been holding off told it is complicated. Just a basic knowledge of a workflow with APP and Photoshop .

Yeah, PI is a steep learning curve, I've been using it 3 years now and can get around it OK, but it has taken a long time, the interface wasn't too bad, that only took a few sessions, but the rest of it has taken me a long while and time spent watching videos etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been told it is the best for Astro processing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
