10 x 8 minute subs, guided. Darks subtracted. (Stuffed my flats)

Orion Starshoot Pro DSI

Skywatcher ED 120 Prime focus F7.5

The red channel has really been annoying me in MaxIm, so I processed in Deep Sky Stacker with a lot more time spent on it.

Thanks all! I got another 2 hours worth of exposure on it last night and added them to the 80 minutes.

A bit more natural and smooth I think.

Gday again guys. I think it's finally done!

An experienced astrophotographer and friend of mine here in Canberra, SteveC gave me a good portion of his day today, to teach me some of the finer points of processing. My problem was mainly the color balance functions of the editing programs, of which I was fairly ignorant.

I am still working out some issues with flats, so these dont have flats applied, but I am so much happier with the result anyway.

My plethora of TECHNICOLOR Rosettes, my almost BLACK Carina and my AWFUL RED AND YELLOW Horsehead, with the new techniques applied, have all turned out much more natural looking.

Take a look toward the bottom of my page at the second gallery. Thanks Steve!
