Converted,Calibrated,Aligned,Combined in ImagePlus 2.75 Split processing between IP and Photoshop. Slight noise reduction with Noise Ninja.. Converted to jpg in IP. Resized and slight crop. This is the 3rd time I uploaded this after reprocessing again. This time after a post in group by Doug Dieter
on how he changes the Digital Development to keep from clipping shadows. I liked my other versions but believe this looks more realistic. |
| NOTES |
: |
This is the first time I have autoguided, took a few session and long nights to learn it but well worth the time and frustration. |
