P Holdsworth Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hi all,This is just 3.5 hours from Christmas eve on the Heart nebula. I definitely need another couple of nights on it but thought I would post the start of it. I'm happier with the processing this time using the photoshop tips from Carole and Neil and I think I've got a better workflow going now. This is still with just a stock dslr so there's some noise but hoping some of that will go with more exposure time. I'm going to try get a min of 8 hours to fix that. Wishing everyone all the very best for 2021CheersPaul 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroarg Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 great image, looks clean.I've just been setting up my workflows, what I like about Heart and Soul is you can get them most of the year, but I wanted to try and get them during the cold winter months.Sadly I can't fit the whole of this in on my 183C even with a 0.8x reducer :( Mosiac it is then... or a widefield of the whole area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Holdsworth Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 @astroargThank you,Yes I think the larger sensor of a dslr and a focal length of 500 mm helps with this one.All the best for 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
