Hi ! Really happy to be on astrobin, I am returning to astrophoto after a few years not having much time for it. I began astrophotogrpahy in 2006 mainly using telescopes from the Observatoire de Haute Provence in France, now I am focused on light gear so I do all my work using a star adventurer mini and a full spectrum Canon 60d. My quest of correct lenses made me try a bunch of brands and models : - Sigma 70-210 Zen Apo F2.8 --> Rejected : no correct until f/8 - Tamron SP 70-200 F/2.8 Di LD --> Rejected : no correct wide open in the corner - Tair 3 300 mm F/4.5 --> Correct and used for wide fields - Rubinar 500mm F/5.6 --> Correct and used to take pictures of galaxies using a the star adventurer mini - Canon 200mm L F/2.8 --> Correct at F/3.2, used for wide fields - SMC super takumar 200mm F/4 --> Correct lens at F/5.6 - PENTACON 135mm F/2.8 --> Correct lens at F/3.2 I am currently located in a really light poluted area near Paris. |

Welcome to Astrobin. I am also part of the Paris Region family and its beautiful nocturnal lights. Right now, it's a little better because the streetlights go out at 11 p.m. I'm also a fan of CANON and the Star Adventurer for travel. What are your favorite software tools? CS Harold |

Hello Harold, Really happy to discuss with you ! My processing workflow for some time now is : - SIRIL for processing - Then AstrodenoisePy to make some noise removal - Separation of stars and other objects using StarNetV2 - Separate histogram processing for stars and deep sky objects - Merge the two using Gimp. How do you work ? |

My processing workflow for some time now is : For full deep sky object processing I use PixInsight and sometimes AstroPixel Processor for pre-processing. For Earth Moon and planets I use PIPP, Registax 6, AutoStakkert!3 and Winjupos. And for final adjustments, RawTherapee or Adobe PhotoShop. |

Noted ! I have no experience for planetary, so good to have some feedbacks when I will. For now my main pain point is to correct background ! I have struguled a lot with this subject. Maybe you or other persons from astrobin forum would have an idea on how to improve ? Even if I use a white T shirt during day light to take some flats with signal in the middle of the histogram, my result after stacking and background removal in SIRIL is :  I had to spend a huge time trying to remove these strange marks... Any suggestion ? For reference my master flat (calculated by SIRIL with 17 frames 1/3200s @800 iso as the lights, focus at infinity, same rotation of lens)  |
