Nice tutorial about star reduction, i have learned again something new. I have purchased One guiding camera folowing your videos, i have Also One skywatcher adventurer and telephoto lent. Sorry about my English. Best regards

Great tutorial as always.

[@walterwold1168]

Great video! 👍 While I have done a star reduction, I have also done a reduction of colour saturation In the star mask. Just a tiny reduction, because in the earlier overall contrast adjustment, I have felt that the star colours gets to saturated.

How did you get 3 minute exposures with a skyguider? I already struggle to go above 1 minute with my RedCat 51. Do you do any guiding and correction for the RA?

[@rockdv75]

I have struggled so much with trying to process my image on the veil nebula. I can't wait to get home and try your method. I love how you explain what each tool does. I am brand new into this hobby, but also no nothing about photography or editing in Photoshop. I took good images and stacked them in deep sky stacker. Just am lost in the processing.

[@capturethephotons2078]

Try making STARLESS IMAGES in Starnet ++. Then copy and paste the starless image to your star image and LAYER it . Alot of the post processing can be made to pop changing the blending modes in photoshop. Astronomy Tools ACTION SET Is an awesome plug in that does a lot of heavy lifting for you when it comes to post process also.

Thanks mate, much appreciated.

[@leemus1966]

I was wondering if dithering only in RA would have good results, can’t wait for your next video!

[@capturethephotons2078]

I have to say when stacking photos sequator is a lot more automated and you don't have to register or pick a reference photo it will stack everything for you.

[@jeffreyrowley9004]

Nice, thank you!

[@danielecento]

Which camera did u use?

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

As the ASIAIR PRO uses FITS format how do you handle this. Does Sequestor or Deep Sky use these files?

[@PeterZelinka]

I use DeepSkyStacker to stack my FITS files. Sequator cannot use FITS files unfortunately.

[@wooptidoo]

You're going to make me buy a mono camera and filters 😂

[@edwinsanchez1167]

Great video Peter! I am going crazy because ALL of the images I take have literally half of the sky dark and the other with like a cloudy film that I can never fix in post processing, don’t know how/why this is hapenning😢

[@stef2499]

Do you take flats?

[@AndrewThomas73]

Starnet should work it only recognises Tiff files I copy a tiff file into the Starnet folder, then drag it over the rgb Starnet icon. Then it should work....

[@johnnyredfireastroimaging5266]

You don’t have to choose reference frame. The highest score is automatically used....

first comment!

[@Lasastard]

Very cool, never knew you could push Photoshop this far. You probably have mentioned this before, but I am new here :) Have you ever tried PixInsight? I wouldn't know how to work without it...

[@PeterZelinka]

I've tried it... I still can't wrap my head around it, so I usually just come back to Photoshop
