Description

The difference a few years experience and software advancements can make!

I was asked by a mentoree about my stacking & processing workflow. He uses a DSLR, so to demonstrate my current methods - I revisited a 2014 dataset from my old SBIG OSC (right) & completely reprocessed it (left) using my current favourites: APP, Starnet++, PS, Nik & Topaz. 🙂

Quite an improvement I have to say.

The second image is the end result from stacking, stretching and LP removal in APP, prior to all the fancy post production.

Taken March 2014 from my light polluted suburban backyard - with a Saxon 900mm ED, SBIG STF8300 OSC on a bog standard NEQ6, Idas LP filter, 30x5min subs.
