Bob, I think your pocessing looks very good. With this image, I have the most trouble with the color correction - getting the red out while keeping the stars...
Jeff, This is great imput. And its a totally different approach to what I do. Since I guess I won't be heading east this weekend with the scope, I may get a...
Jeff, Inspired by your 2nd attempt I've done a much more agressive stretch to go for the faint nebulosity. This posted as my 3rd attempt. In my previous...
Dave, What version of IP are you using? I'm not sure my version even has those features. That and I've never been able to pull of a raw conversion in IP ...
I really did not go after the stars. The programs I am using create proplems. I will look at ImagesPlus. If you look at my images the stars are always fat. As...
Dave, Thanks for the encouragement. Where is the star reduction tool located in IP? There is a lot I haven't gotten into in that program yet. Bob ... ...
All, Dave has volunteered to purchase some additional glass for the mod party and donate it to the club!!! That means we can probably mod around 7 cameras,...
You know. . .I've been looking at a bunch of pictures on-line of M16 and the ones we've processed, and I have to say that I really do agree with Bob. . .the...
I doubt if you have any reason to use my shots...but feel free to use anything of mine you'd like. Jim P. ... From: Mark Smith To: SDAA_AISIG@yahoogroups.com ...
I posted a new image in Dave's section using the trial version of Imagesplus and Dave's suggestions on sharpening.I also used Imagesplus to recombine the...
Dave, How do I get to your FTP site? I looked around in the AISIG page but can't find a reference to it. Thanks!!! Looking forward to trying my hand at...
Gee, I guess if I went far enough back in the emails I would have found the link earlier. = )) I got the pics. Now for the fun. Thanks Dave for posting these....
Jim, Nice to see this project starting to snowball. I've posted instructions in files section on how to find the files. Also for everyone else - there are...
Bob N., Nice result. So the trial version of IP puts in a spider vane for free? How kind. Actually, my earlier comments about the sharpening were directed at ...
Bob, RL restoration has been in IP for a while at least before ver 2.5 I'm not sure just when the star size reduction feature was added. It might be new in the...
I'm using ver 2.75 which was just released about month or two ago. See my earlier post. RE: raw conversion in IP, don't be so quick to dismiss it. It is dark...
Dave, Photoshop definitely stretches the image, but it only clips dead space with no signal. . .so who cares? I've never been able to find as much data in the...
Could you cut & paste it in? I'm not a member. Thanks! -J _____ From: SDAA_AISIG@yahoogroups.com [mailto:SDAA_AISIG@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Dave Goodin...
message pasted below. Bottom line, there will be a new feature in the next beta release of IP to take care of modded cameras. I'm betting... about two weeks!! ...
I'm hoping what this new feature will work like this. You take a picture of a white card with your modded camera, then show it to IP which will then create a...
Here are a couple of observations: (I know this is hard to follow) 1. Mike's camera had no filter so it might pick up a lot more in the red also the blue and...
Bob, Good comments. I was struck by how non-gray each of the bottom rows were (these were supposed to be all gray scale). This indicates to me that correction...
I posted the result of adjusting the chart. It appears that shifting the black point you can use multipliers and it is pretty linear. I refined the multipliers...
I've uploaded a 2nd attempt at color correction. I'm happier with this one as the star color is better. I was just trying for the color on the stars this go,...

Due to the weather of Friday, the Drift Align lesson got done on Saturday. There were NO stars to drift on Friday night, so Saturday I took the plate off of my...
"new appreciation" is an understatement! And I thought most of you guys were just pissing and moaning. Little did this Dob driver know ... Hopefully next...
Bill Hagan made a good suggestion about this at the AISIG meeting we had a TDS. He suggested I get a Desk-top for processing my images. To use the laptop in...
