Ahhh... you're a linux man!

Strangely I use a Mac for photography even tho I have 2 quite powerfull PC's.... Mainly coz Mac OS is massively better than windows! Evne tho my Mac is a 2010 one it runs PS and LR faster than Windows!!

No that's fine... it's nice to have someone to talk to and bally ideas around with!

Have you thought of getting Adobe's Cloud Service? You can get both Lightroom and Photoshop for about 10 quid a month? Photoshops tools are very powerful for astrophotography.

Also are you using a Mac or PC?

That's SPOOOOKEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

When I did star reduction in PS... It looked pretty much the same as yours!!

Must have been the Haloween effect!!

Funnileeeeeeeeeeeeeee enough.... I was looking at Star Reduction after i posted these!

I am looking at what you have done on my phone. So I'll reserve judgement until I have seen it on my mac.

Is that Rawtherapee worth getting? I use Photoshop.

Also have a look at a book by Adam Woodworth, called Night Sky Photography. Cheapest I found it was on fleabay.

In August I went to Wales on holiday... did post some photos up of that trip. One of them was a a staight up shot of the Cosmos and the Milky Way core.

I have since been learning more and more about astrophotography and how to process the images. So...

Here is a reworked shot from that holiday.

I have also done a couple of composite images using it to. One is in the gallery and here is the other.
