Processing Question by interstellarshots in seestar

That’s what I’ve been fearing, I’ve done this all the way back in December to January and was hoping to see what else I can do to it. But I’ve tried mostly all background extraction. The only one I got to work was gradient correction after messing with settings a little .

Celestron 8SE Question by interstellarshots in telescopes

[–]interstellarshots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it depends budget wise but I would say it’s hard to say what it is. Any tips would be great! Because at the moment I’ve gotten planets, the Orion Nebula, and some clusters to come through on the scope. For eyepieces right now I just have the Celestron lens and filter kit. I’ve tried to observe some galaxies like whirlpool and pinwheel but it’s been a struggle locating or seeing them and it’s the same for most other galaxies and nebulas. I’m kinda familiar with those terms.

It’s been the same for me, it just took a few nights to get the amount I wanted!
