further update, the manufacturer gave me a couple of options, I have to think them over.
-
Well the official position from the manufacturer is this: “It looks like what to expect out of the scope and the equipment used. You're not going to totally remove all blue fringe. Even a very expensive Takahashi with 4 elements you'll have about th…

It's a mono, I have LRGB and narrow band. The saving grace I guess has been that I can still get Ha, Oiii, and Sii out of the rig. They are Baader Planetarium brand filters. The original set of filters from ZWO was from the batch that had severe p…

I'm really struggling with it, I've found some "tricks" online but none of them worked for me. Right now my Triplet Apochromat with it's ED glass and all the other marketing hoopla speak, is producing images that look like they were taken using a …

Thanks Adam!

I just saw Adam's note *of course I saw this note AFTER I submitted a ticket, sorry!!, that they have having issues with the host provider as of the 22nd. I'm also having the same issue that I can't launch the paid-for videos right now.

I decided to share my processing contest entry on Astrobin. Here is the link: https://astrob.in/406042/0/ I think I lost because I did not double check the image at 1:1 and I ended up with some dark rings around stars after deconvolution.

I recently participated in Chilescope's processing contest. I did not win but it gave me some valuable lessons learned. It also introduced me to the concept of purchasing telescope time from a remote site to acquire data. Here is my NGC5128 - Cent…

I can't answer about using Drizzle with it, I have not yet started to use Drizzle in my processing (I need to be able to afford to pay for Horizons first! :) ) I can say that after following some online posts about MureDenoise I was able to get it…

I don't recall if this was discussed, but I would love to see a video or two of you talking about how to get some good data in the first place. Secondly what are some things we should be looking for in those data sets in order to make a determina…

Thanks Max. It took me a while but looks like Iver got it nearly nailed down. It’s truely amazing to watch the results you get! I feel like I don’t need to do very much else after using it.

Thank you! Much appreciated. I recently completed a 2 panel mosaic of the Flame and Horsehead nebulas. https://www.astrobin.com/full/384737/0/?real=&mod= I’d appreciate any feedback I can get for improvements.

sort of related, but say I wanted everything in one shot, would I just purchase horizons (since I've already purchased fundamentals) ?
-
Wild thought... Since it would seem that Arc effects brighter area's to detriment, what about using something like range selection to mask just the brightest stars when stretching, and to that not mask them at 100% so that the stretch would not be…

Ah, thanks Adam.

Hi Adam, I think for me personally I like Option 2, especially if you could start us out with the stacked images (IE, we'd start at lesson "DBE Luminance"). For me personally it's from that point on where I get tripped up in Pi. Thanks!

Over new moon weekend I was able to get about 4 hours of data on M20. My first attempt at processing is here: https://www.astrobin.com/full/360970/0/ This is the first image I've made since purchasing fundamentals, and it got 16 likes on AstroBin in…

Interesting enough I just found that by only only using flats with my camera the masters are coming out far better than ever. One of my friends speculates I have an issue with my dark library, maybe some light leaked in when I was taking the darks o…

and.. just re-watched the arcsinhStretch video and realized that I need to go back and take that path on my M31, I have a feeling it could be even better
