Description

First time I use Nebulosity instead of APT to acquire image with the Canon EOS 1300D DSLR. I took advantage of the 2x2 binning feature provided by Nebulosity during acquisition to get smaller files and also a better S/N ratio in the images.

Also, Nebulosity creates the files as .fit and not RAW, and it looks like Astro Pixel Processor is definitely faster at processing fits rather than RAWs.

I also switched to taking darks on my own, instead of relying on the noise reduction feature of the camera, as I had always done until now.

All these factors together allowed me to obtain what is probably my best color DSLR image so far and definitely rekindled my interest in the use of the DSLR for AP.
