PinPoint Stars
« on: 2012 March 17 12:47:46 »
I am pretty new at this. Could someone please share with me the best technique to obtain pinpoint stars? My stars are looking a bit flat.

Thanks

Might help if you post examples?  "bit flat" and "pinpoint" are bit subjective.

I just posted an image of M45 in the gallery. I tried deconvolve but I am having trouble removing the dark rings.

Thanks

Hi,

Read my article about dynamic range compression. I talk about this topic in the "High-contrast, small-scale structures" section.


Regards,
Vicent.
