This is the first video of a series of 5 Part I combined routes stretching from my country, and color correction, curves adjustment photography my Astro. See some of my work here:

I learned a lot of these techniques in different places on the Internet, and provide advice astrophotographers DSLR is very good. I would not say that this is the best treatment methods of astronomical images, and tips are welcome. These methods have worked best for me, and I'm still learning new tricks.

These images M42, Orion Nebula and the Great. Photo:

Program: the placing on the iris of the eye, are stacked in registration Registar

If you were not sure which one of the means mentioned above, Google the following:)

I intend to do another series and reviews the basics of astrophotography, and how to obtain plans and the necessary equipment, and how to prepare for processing. This series is mainly for people who already have a stacked, and are looking for good ways to stretch and should be treated as the final result.

In this video:

I would like to start with two, the first is a series of images are stacked to shed light on the lowest share of the nebulae, and the second is a series stacked to create a bright nucleus. This video shows us how to go to the * original * data extends to highlight the data you want, and ignore the data that we do not need.

Fun!
