Description

M31 – My First Photoshop Image

Well let me make one thing clear, this is really my 13th image of M31 using Photoshop, but the only one I dare post. Next: I have been coached and trained to try Photoshop and Lightroom from Steve Lantz, (https://www.astrobin.com/users/astrophotosteve/ ) he is a retired teacher and one of the best teachers, the one you wish you had for all your schooling. Thank you Steve for your help and nudging me into Photoshop.

This is my data taken on October 17th with the gar listed above. It was an okay image but I wanted more, I could see more in the Led on the camera. Gary Imm had a nice comment that it looked like what he would see through a telescope and how there are some images out there that are over processed, so with Steve’s help and Gary’s comment I started this process about two weeks ago. Steve downloaded my JPG image and showed me what he could do with that data. I was sold, not after he sent me a few homemade videos and after 12 attempts here is my first Photoshop image.

My mother taught me “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” Not the case here, I welcome comments as how to improve and if you don’t want to use the comment here, send me a private message. I can’t learn without constructive criticism.

Here is my M31 without Photoshop: https://www.astrobin.com/o1bm0q/?nc=user
