Bobby1970 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Trying to make the most of the clear nights, despite the moon. lol 40x120s subs, 30 darks. Altiar 72mm semi apo, ZWO 178MC. Captured with ZWO AsiAir Pro. Processed with startools, paint.net and windows photo editor. I decided to lower the gain of the camera, i had been using 270, but all of my efforts always look too noisy to me. Used 130 for this effort. Thanks for looking, i don't think i am ever going to get to grips with processing lol. Edited March 1, 2021 by Bobby1970 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgrover68 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Nice. Lots of great nebulosity and cool framing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of great nebulosity and cool framing Had to screw a focal reducer on nosepiece of camera. It's still quite a tight fit and didn't leave too much space for cropping. Need to figure out a way of stopping the stars from bloating next. And maybe an even lower gain setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby1970 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 I tried adding additional data to this as I captured some more last night. However, the result wasn't as pleasing as I thought it would be. Can anyone advise if I'm doing this correctly. Lights+darks from 1st session added to "main group" in DSS Lights + darks from 2nd session added to "group 1" in DSS Check all images in both groups and let DSS do it's stuff???

Yes, that's the correct way :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
