  • This set I ran through wbpp so I'm guessing I didn't have no scale with LN. I just realized I ran everything from the debayered files and not the registered like I did in previous comets. I'll go through those and see if anything changes. The firs…
  • I really struggled trying to clean up the comet, but I'm content with what I came out with at this point. Thank you for all of the help. Shawn
  • I'm not trying to be too picky or anything, but I believe video #2 should be batch sxt and not bxt. It threw me off for a second. Shawn
  • I did not but I'll be looking for it soon.  Thank you very much! Shawn
  • I was trying to think if there's a way to only select the comet during integration, or at some other time. I shot it twice, first with 3min exposures and then 5min exposures, with the 5min being what I'm using Thanks Shawn
  • There are 31 frames in the image. I've attached the comet alignment with the first and last image to show the movement, which I don't think is much. And a couple of screenshots of the readout preview, hopefully I did it correctly. Thanks, Shawn
  • I understand, but I can't seem to get this to work.  My problem(I think) is that the nebulosity in the comet only image doesn't seem dimmer than the comet subtracted data. I can't figure out how to get the comet to stand out with the nebulosity doin…
  • I understand. I'll mess around with it and see what I can get. On a side note, if you want some example data Id be more than happy to provide some.  Thanks, Shawn
  • I found a Youtube video that talked about a script that handles this. It's called combine images through dc-scripts that I found and installed. Although I haven't had much success getting the colors to come close. I'll attach a screen shot of the sc…
  • An update. After trying a different field flattener,  and working with Starizona and Explore Scientific it turns out a simple flocking of the scope solved the problem. Thanks again, Shawn
  • I've had this issue with 2 different sensors, both ZWO 294mmc pro and 183mcpro, with the ed102 and a hotech sca field flattener. Adding a dew shield seemed to work until I got close to a really bright far in Orion. I think I might reshoot this witho…
  • That's what I was afraid of hearing. The rings I've been able to deal with, but this particular one with the gradient is difficult. I also tried the hue shift with no success. I'd send the scope back because it seem like an obvious defect, but who k…
  • Quick update. I tried the Scattered Light technique and can't get it to work without taking most of the color out of the entire frame. The search continues.
  • I will try it tonight. I tried the script again after I read your first message and it worked all of a sudden. I'll let you know what I found out. Thanks for your help, Shawn
  • Adam, Thank you. I'm truly enjoying and learning quite a bit from the fundamentals video. Shawn
