Spent 5h on this target and thus is my longest project yet. Sice I am still a beginner I'd appreciate feedback on processing and integration.

Integration:
Redcat51
Canon eos 6D (unmodded)
Swsa gti

Processing:
Siril
BlurX
Gimp
GraXpert

Wow thats really good, im also still a beginner. Idk but i think you deserve the mininerd role

[tight hawk]

Thanks :)

The dark nebula in the background was very hard to process

Tried to pull out as much as I could but now it looks kinda dirty

Probably have to spent some more time on this target

Probably wouldn't have if I would have a dedicated or at least modded camera

[icy ember]

I also dont have a modded camera

[tight hawk]

Mininerd though

[tight hawk]

Will upload the full rez later

[tight hawk]

Here you go

[tight hawk]

Looks sharper in the whatsapp preview however

@hushed grotto

what do you say

I orientated myself on your choice of colour

:D

[tight hawk]

Preview here looks weird

[empty heart]

nice and dusty, but the colors look a little flat, there's almost no contrast in the nebulosity

[tight hawk]

Mhm

Maybe you are right

Wait one sec

[tight hawk]

better?

[hushed grotto]

I think it's got a strange color cast

[tight hawk]

I'm going to throw the data away

Too noisy

Not dithered enough

And tracked into the light dome

[weary reef]

you have a bit opf a blue tinge to the background and some of the stars are overly pink; otherwise great image

welcome to mininerd!

[tight hawk]

:D

Thank you

[tight hawk]

I actually didn't even color the stars or something nor saturated them

[tight hawk]

How come Veloren is still only mininerd

Not very referred to this channel but...

[hushed grotto]

Idk i think they go off of recommendations via DM's for roles beyond mininerd or something

[tight hawk]

Mhm

You would really deserve a higher role

There is something wrong when I have the same role as you

[hushed grotto]

Perhaps
