Great job !

In Stellarium if you create your sensor and telescope and accurately enter the data in the Oculars area (click the spanner at top right) you should get a frame like this around your chosen target when you choose Image Sensor Frame icon, top right second from the left. Then use the arrow...

Thanks Alan! The joys of narrowband imaging!

Thanks Ben!

Thanks Jim, yes there is a lot going on in this region and relatively easy to capture as you have shown in your image. Just needs the amount of data to reveal.

Haha Happy Holidays Astro Style @Comet Hunter !

This image is of 2 well-known nebulae one more so than the other. The Horsehead Nebula made famous by Hubble is a diffuse dark nebula found in the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex in the constellation Orion and is approximately 1,500 light-years from us.The palette chosen here was HSO which more or...

Great job Jim ! Maybe a slight Levels/Curves tweak to make it a tad darker would be an improvement for me.

Russell should be able to sort that out for you if you have paid for it.

Yes definitely before stretching and after color calibration (SPCC). I remove stars later on when I'm about to color grade.

Nice image Jim. Again way too little data as you have said. Great test though. For noise reduction I now solely use NoiseXterminator.

Send Russell an email via the support link/page, he usually responds quickly there as well (I reported a bug in BXT 😇) ...should have gotten a rebate for that haha

Haha true regarding his website Jim ! I usually get an email within an hour of purchase and did so again with BXT. Did you enter your email and permanent license key on the Purchase page?

It is recommended that it is applied right after background extraction and neutralization, so very early in the process. No does not affect WBPP but could replace deconvolution and sharpening if that's part of your PI workflow.

Yes I have. Although pricey for a plugin it does an awesome job. My first quick test below: Check out Sascha Wynn's video of it and its examples and his other videos as well which are very good.

Thanks Mike !

It would depend on how much noise is in the image you are working on which always leads back to the amount of data acquired. In the pixel-peeping sense, I would say it's at the point where the speckling just disappears. I always like to leave some noise in my images otherwise I find it looks too...

No worries at all Jim. I must admit I do like some noise in my images at the risk of it looking too plasticky.

Hi Jim On a mono camera, noise would look like speckles in various shades of grey like the image on the left below and denoised using NoseXterminator's default setting of 0.9 on the right. Pretty much the same as DSLR noise in low light conditions in my past experience. Similar thing for a OSC...
