Astrophotography - Some Basic things to know

Steven Miller is someone who's really good at this, this is what I learned from him:

• Timothy Law Curious, what Bortle Class do you live in to take so many shots like these1
  • Steven MillerTimothy Law im in bortle 7 central fl skies.You just have to out signal the noise.But honestly Pixinsight dbr tool removes the lp gradients and really flattens the back ground
  • Timothy LawSteven Miller wow, I'm in bortle 6. Thanx for the really worthy advice!!!
• Antonio FigueroaDon't understand what you did with the luminance, do you have some tutorial link or video to understand?
  • Steven MillerAntonio Figueroa here a link to the 2 part video showing how in the stage of adding the luminance to the rgb, saturation can be applied.https://youtu.be/zqhLKIjGMXAYOUTUBE.COMPixInsight Processing Example: NGC 1808 LRGB (Part 1/2) - YouTubePixInsight Processing Example: NGC 1808 LRGB (Part 1/2) - YouTube
  • Antonio FigueroaSteven Miller thank you I remembered I had used that technique before, I dont know why I stopped use it, yes it is very effective, I will make some try again these days I am also processing some Andromeda data, great photo my friend
