Description

Sky Watcher Star Adventurer + Canon 1300D astromod+ Jupiter 21m 200mm [email]f4/@5.6[/email]
90% from 230 x 60s ISO 1600
20x darks
20x bias
20x flats
Stacked in DeepSkyStacker
PixInsight LE:
- background alignment
- color calibration
- stretching the material
- light saturation

I used StarNet ++ to remove stars. I did 2 layers in Gimp (starless + normal), gave Opacity to 35% with stars and raised some Saturation (HueSaturatuon) on the layer without stars, merged and then in Adobe Lightroom Android Free I reduced the noise slightly and increased the blacks + increased clarity and slightly removed the fogging
In current/final version I used Astrophotography Tools Action Set for Photoshop to improve image.
