Description

My first Astrobin image! I have a long way to go but am making progress, both in acquisition and processing.

This image is just over two hours of data with a modded Canon DSLR, Samyang 135mm f/2 and the L-eNhance filter. I have pushed this as far as I was able to in post-processing and the noise is starting to really show. More data would help even things out a bit.

Stacked in DSS >> Post in PS >> Levels, curves adjustments >> gradient removal >> Starnet++ >> contrast and colour enhancements >> Noise reduction >> reinsert stars and minimisation
