Astrobdlbug Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) I was going to wait until I had a full narrowband image to present, but I processed the 6hrs of 3nm Ha this evening and well its just such a huge step up from the ASi1600MM. This image is 6hrs of 300s subs, integrated with darks, flats and dark_flats, in Astro Pixel Processor . I used Pixinsight to process starting with ezDeconv then used GHS to stretch followed by local histogram equalisation then some smaller adjustments with Curves - I used very little NoiseXTerminator - I just applied it to see at 30% and it did make a marginal improvement (the new Russel Croman tool) The detail is what made most impact on me, hope you like mono... Bryan PS - if you saw my other post in Observatories this afternoon - this image was only made possible as I bult a PZT for my Skyshed POD so I can image near the zenith.
