nice data!

[shrewd wharf]

Some seriously delightful data to process

[tight orbit]

HOLY, mine just looks like garbage compared to yours😭

[shrewd wharf]

Lol nah, just do a background extraction and it'll already look sick.

thats the main thing to get the dust out

also color correction will help alot

[tight orbit]

oh yeah

just did it in siril

looks way better

[shrewd wharf]

Yessir

[tight orbit]

the difference is insane

amazing data!

did a kind of hoo combination

[shrewd wharf]

That's neat

[shrewd wharf]

Yea color calibration will help a lot

It gives you those lovely blues and pinks

[tight orbit]

idk what area i should select

theres no difference for me

[shrewd wharf]

For bleckpoint CC select the darker areas and for white point select a neutral colored star that isn't clipped

You should see a massive diff

[tight orbit]

yeah indeed

[hard mantle]

aye nice

[hard mantle]

very very good bro

really like it

glad to hear the data was nice

[hard mantle]

what do u use to process again?

[tight orbit]

i think Photoshop and SiriL

[shrewd wharf]

Thanks my guy

[shrewd wharf]

Yii as Steff said SiriL and PS

[shrewd wharf]

Can't wait to grab a 533 and finally retire my 15yr old 450D lol

[hard mantle]

Llol

Bro what do u do to the stars tho

Their so clean

[shrewd wharf]

@hard mantle In short I do the usual and create a stars only image and then stretch the stars using Histo stretch and GHS to balance it out all in SiriL. Then in PS I using "astronomy tools action set" (it's like 15 USD) which has a star shrinking function so I run it a couple times, I'll then add them to the starless, boost sat, adjust curves to keep the star cores properly bright, then finally I'll add the usual glow using gaussian blur in an iterative manner.

[shrewd wharf]

Uhhmm

Not the diff I was expecting

[hard mantle]

Ahhh ok, might buy that actually

[shrewd wharf]

Has a lot of other neat tools that can add some extra spice to the image.
