Looking for some feedback on my most recent image
Hi all. I'm a fundamentals customer, getting ready for my horizon's purchase. I actually joined a long time ago, but equipment problems have plagued me for the last couple of years. I finally broke down and purchased a whole new mount setup and WOW, my first image session was wonderful and I was able to keep every sub (I used to throw out more than 1/2).
Here is a link to my latest image on Astrobin: LINK
This is a simple RGB of the Trifid shot a few days ago (June 12/13). 64 Each 120 sec
I did minimal processing, workflow: WBPP , DrizzleIntegration each channel, ChanelCombonation, ScreenTransfer+HistogramTransformation, EZ Processing Suit EZ Noise Reduction (defaults), CurvesTransformation (a very slight touch of color saturation and a very smooth s curve), Script- DarkStructureEnhance.
Now that I'm able to get data again I'm looking for some constructive feedback so that I can improve my imaging!
Please note, that my 127 ED Triplet (Explorer Scientific) has an element out of alignment, so the blue stars have a much more pronounced halo effect. I have contacted ES and I need to ship the scope in for cleaning and alignment. (This was discovered when I tried to do Spectroscopy with the scope).
