A very instructive tutorial on some very subtle curves adjustments. I wonder about doing them with the individual channels to improve colour contrast. Another great video. Thanks.
Hi Doug,just wached all your 6 tutorals, as i have only got Elements 9 hope i can do justice to your Tutorals,allso i am a begginer, but the way you present your tutorals is so easy to follow and your voice delivery is just right,BRILLIANT,GeoffersBTW THANKS
Hi. Up until recently I used a Skywatcher 200p 8" reflector or just a camera with a zoom lens. Recently though I got an ED80 refractor, which is a big improvement :)
Hi Doug, very useful start for me as I can only soak up basic information. I use elements 11 and I can only seem to apply your techniques to 8 bit images. I save stacked image as 16 bit TIFF from DSS but there is almost no colour information in there. How do you get so much colour out of DSS? Canon 600D and 300mm zoom.
I'm around 20 mins drive out of the city and around another 15 to be completely out of the main pollution to the high ground. I'm only running an old meade 4504 that i used to learn the ropes but would like to upgrade.
Hi @TheYoungAstronomer. Sorry for the late response :) No, no CCD mate - can't afford such luxuries! That image was taken with a Skywatcher 200p 8" reflector and an ancient Nikon D70 DSLR :)
Depends on the kit! The best and biggest telescopes in the world (and in space) are reflectors, but I can't afford a Hubble :) At my level, I'd say a retractor gives better quality images, but you can buy a bigger reflector (and therefore gather more light) for the same money. :)
I agree. Just play with photoshop . When I start with PS , I did some thing differents how some body teach me , and the teacher told me. Are too many ways to skin a cat.
Just starting in astrophotography and Photoshop. Your tutorials have been a great help. Thanks for posting these.
Cheers
Thanks! :) Glad you find them useful

I have 22 years of Photoshop EXP and I actually just learned a little something.
Thank you!

Thanks Geoff for those kind words, I appreciate it. :) Doug

No problem. Always if not a CCD a dslr, im running a 60d but have pretty bad light pollution where i live so don't get much chance for deep sky.
Hi there Doug, what was the setup you used to take them image ? Looks like you used a CCD

good stuff. helped me out a lot.

Great video, really helpful
Thanks Lesle :)
refractor better than reflector when it comes to astrophotography?
what telescope do you use?
thanks for the videos!
Thanks for that :) Should post more soon, once I get my head into gear! ;)
thanks for the info
Very, very true.
Still, great info!
Thank you vm for the guide!
My pleasure :) Thanks for the comment
Thanks man!

Wow - that's nice to know :) Mind you, you could probably spend a lifetime using PS and still not know it all :)
Can't be worse than mine mate - I'm in an orange zone (well, you could be in red I suppose - in which case, give up!). Just give it a go :)
