TerryMcK Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 Here is it processed slightly differently again in PI but with a little more brought out in the finer stuff. HSS format 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcK Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 I've been playing around with the EZ Processing Suite and did the decovolution script and the HDR script. Very impressed. It has brought out a lot of detail 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmack1 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Thats a really nice image. I use EZ denoise most of the time and find it really effective. EZDeconvolution I find a bit hit or miss. I sometimes find I need to tweak the starmask by adding some ellipses and often the final effect is too subtle to be worth the bother. When that happens I revert to normal Decon using the PSF script and using starmask for local support and Lum mask for background protection and more often than not that gives me a better result. I've not tried EZ HDR any tips on when/how to use it to best effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried the EZ Decon script, but it has no effect on my images. I have never used the EZ HDR script, is it similar to HDRMultiScaleTransform?

The Decon script does need a little playing around to make it work without creating dark circles around stars and also you need to play around with creating a suitable point spread function image. The results are very subtle when you get it right but having knowledge of how to deconvolve manually helps as you can understand what the script sequence is doing, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the default settings on a starless view which had been stretched. I used StarXTerminator to remove the stars as I'm still on the trial period. The settings are thus: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 I still need to play around with the image to get rid of some gradients which seem to have popped up after doing the EZ processes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
