Zwo Seestar S50 - Image Processing

#1

Post by brenski »

So, I've had a go at NGC2174 Monkey Head nebula.
There was only 40mins of captured data, so I wasn't too disappointed with the initial result:

However, I took the plunge and purchased both StarXterminator and NoiseXterminator from RC Astro and revisited my capture. My processing workflow being:
1. Use StarX to separate star and starless layers
2. Process Starless layer and apply NoiseX when happy
2. Stretch Star layer to bring out more stars

Your processing technique has really made that data pop!

Nice Monkey Head Martin.
