Diffusion Filter Overlay with Photoshop

Some of these are created in-camera by taking a double exposure: once with no filter and then once with a diffusion filter on to create those glows around bright stars. The same effect can be done in Photoshop with one normally exposed astrophotograph.

This article covers the operations of all the SAC cameras including the SACIV, SAC7, SAC7b, and for the most part, the new SAC8. The SAC8 is a highly sensitive monochrome CCD camera and it's operation differs slightly. Refer to the SAC8 instructions for the differences but mainly the shutter control as adjusted on the scre
