Tom: Thanks, that's a real improvement! I've downloaded DeepSkyStacker today, and had a brief 'play' with it. I'm surprised how 'user friendly' it seems to be, although I'm now realising that such a high ISO setting might not be such a good idea! To be honest, I've already acheived as good, if not better, images than I hoped so any improvements are a bonus. As soon as I get another clear night I'm going to see what I can do with DSS; it's a major learning curve, but a really fun one!

This then is my rendition. Many thanks once for allowing me the practice ! Best regards, Tel Post Extras:       haytor Pooh-Bah Reged: 11/29/07 Loc: Smethwick near Birmingham UK.

Best, George No doubts about that one, George ! A wonderful display of the Rosette ! You're getting too good at this ! (Perhaps next time out, try additionally taking a set of frames using an imaging O111 filter if you have one, and then have some fun using the Hubble Palette to colour) Best regards, Tel Edited by Tel (12/17/12 03:11 PM) Post Extras:       Tel Postmaster Reged: 03/31/06 Loc: Wallingford England Re: [Re: Tel]       #5575166 - 12/17/12 04:41 AM Attachment (13 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Hi Milby, If that's your first introduction to layering, you've made a splendid job of it, particularly as M42 is not so easy, by reason of its high dynamic range, as one might think. As George said, the core is a little bright so to this end I've tried to blend it in a little more to the rest of the nebula. What do you think ? Does this work ? Best regards, Tel Post Extras:       Maverick199 Postmaster Reged: 02/27/11 Loc: India Re: [Re: Tel]       #5575377 - 12/17/12 08:54 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Wonderful image of M 42, really dynamic looking with loads of detail. Tel's processing is different but reduces the core and gives it a more natural look. Now wish the greens and blues were visible, that would be one heck of a wall paper.
