I am just 6 months into this hobby of Astrophotography.
In the core of M101 something is not right when I zoom in. I wonder if this is in the captures or in the post-processing? Did I simply blow out the core in capture? or is there anything else I could do to improve the APP stack to avoid the problem I see?
Asi533mcp - Takahashi FSQ106n - about 7 hours integration total. 300 seconds, 360 seconds, 420 seconds and 600 seconds subframes.
Thanks for your advice.
I attached JPG, and a tiff of the stack.
@andynowlen Hi Andy. The core looks saturated with lots of details around it. What is wrong according to you?
I attached a screenshot of the core area. Maybe I am overdoing my concern about the 'ring of colors' around the core.
This is 200% zoom in AAP
@andynowlen Yes it is a bit pink. Do you still have the unprocessed stack?
Yes. I think so. Do you mean 1 fits file?
I continue to process this image in different versions. What do you think the artifacts in this screen clip represent? It is a 133% view in APP.
@andynowlen You asked in your original post if this could be due to post-processing. So my question is if you see this in the integration result before post-processing.
