Ik something looks off I js cant put my finger on it

[toxic pewter]

What steps did you do.

What does the auto stretch look like of the raw unprocessed stack

[vernal mica]

It actually looks pretty good, ill send over the pic when I get home

[vernal mica]

This is what it looked like after auto stretching and star reduction on siril

[toxic pewter]

Send a screenshot not a photo

I can’t see anything

Don’t do star reduction or any processing, I want to see the untouched auto stretch

[vernal mica]

There ya go, this was the autostretched, right after stacking

Its a bit scuffed icl

[toxic pewter]

You need more time

You’re processing murdered it though. Without your steps I don’t know which caused it

[vernal mica]

Yeah I knew i did waaaay to much, but as a first time, I was also just experimenting ykyk, and with uk skies, getting more time is arguably harder than anything else

[toxic pewter]

Here is my rough list of processing steps

With free software

I’m guessing you overdid the GraXpert denoise.

[vernal mica]

Tysm dude

[toxic pewter]

The data looks decent, for the low int and gear. But it was for sure your processing that murdered it lol

[vernal mica]

For some reason I couldn't find deconvolution on grax, maybe they js moved it

[toxic pewter]

Don’t use that

[vernal mica]

Tyty, yeah lmaooo

[toxic pewter]

It sucks

Use cosmic clarity

[vernal mica]

Ight bet, I have some clear skies tmrw for the 1st time in 4 weeks, so imma see if I can cook ts time

[molten abyss]

@vernal mica are you able to send the raw stack file here?

I wanna see what can be done with what ya got, but yeah as Callo said it needs more integration time before anything else

[vernal mica]

Ill try see tomorrow if thats alright, id if I still have yhe raw stack file so I might have to re stack it, but when I do ill see if discord allows it

[vernal mica]

The file size is too large sadly.
