Nasty blue fringe, please help!

Posted By Yu Gu

It's very hard to tell from the processed image. Can you post a raw image?

Hi, Thanks for the comments! I just reprocessed the image. Improved the color a little bit. But I still think it can be better. I probably try again later

Getting a ToUcam - barlows questions

Posted By Yu Gu

It's all depend on your scope's size and the object you going to shoot. If your scope is no more than 12" I would say 3x barlow will be a good bet. And you can adjust the length of the barlow to get different magnification.

Gain settings and ringing effect

Posted By Yu Gu

Try to set your gain as high as possible. But don't overexpose any part of the jupiter. You probably can avoid the problem.

Gain settings and ringing effect

Posted By Yu Gu

BTW, lower gain settings won't help avoid the overexpose caused by processing. Sharpening usually caused the problem. So after stacked images turn the contrast(or brightness) lower before sharpening it.

Wish this helps,
