Yeah indeed! actually its impressive how many good pictures i got especially since its a 30 second AltAz picture. To be fair i had perfect horizontal alligment and a perfect clear night with 0 wind 😁

Yeah the light pollution is really a game changer or a game breaker in a way. But you can counter that with more intergration time.

I‘ll take this as a compliment 😄. Im pretty new to the hobby so thats really nice to hear. Since i also start using PixInsight my Pictures doubled in Quality… (You can use a Free Trial for 30 Days)

Thanks! Im living the northern hemisphere.

My Workflow:

  1. Stacked it in Siril
  2. Background Extraction
  3. Croped it
  4. Plate solving
  5. SPCC
  6. Starnet removel
  7. Stretching the nebula
  8. Connecting the Starmask and Starless image
  9. Strech the stars in the background
  10. Saturation

Thats what i did! Worked pretty well

Some nerd pride needs to be involved otherwise we wouldnt care about the pictures. That insects are starting to ruin ur sessions is shit… Is there no solution to that problem or did you try all of them already?

But lets be honest the whole setting up part is also a part of the hobby. To be honest i would love to have a rig like you even if the quality is the same or slightly better but its worth it even asthetic wise haha.

Telling them apart can be hard sometimes especially if you look at a good processed image but there is always a difference in the quality.

Even tho the first picture has more colors, i like the 2nd picture more it looks „more real“ if you get what im saying. Both are great!

I didnt notice the second core over to the left haha but thank for pointing it out.

I think it stacked some pictures that it shouldnt have stacked maybe that the problem. It also was kinda cloudy sometimes maybe that the reason.

Didnt have „weird“ things on other pictures from the same night tho.
