OK, that's it. Need to stop fiddling with this now. Same as the previous one with a slight tweak of the black level.

I think this crop is a better picture than the full mosaic too. Full res here: https://drhotdog.smugmug.com/Nature/Seeing-Stars/i-vjXSLcv/A

Or maybe the answer is none of the above. Keep the greatly reduced stars but don't darken the background quite so much so more extended faint details are visible.

Meanwhile I've fallen down a rabbit hole trying to decide how best to process my big Eta Carina mosaic. All the stars, slightly reduced stars, or greatly reduced stars? Too much and the stars do distract from the nebulosity, which is the main subject of the image, but too few and it looks sterile and artificial. I'm struggling to find the right balance.

The three crops from part of the mosaic run the range from all the stars to greatly reduced. I keep changing my mind about which is best, or whether I need to go somewhere in between them. I also think the answer is different for this crop, and for the full mosaic (which isn't as full of bright nebulosity).

I got some more data on the Helix Nebula too, now totalling just over 11 hours. I think this is about as good as it's going to get with the Thirty Millimetre Telescope.

It may be the most photographed deep sky object in the night sky, but the Orion Nebula is still rewarding. Here's what I got from an hour and 40 minutes of exposure time just before morning twilight last night.

As usual all data from my Seestar S30 Pro, processed in Siril with RC Astro and VeraLux scripts.

#Photographie de la #Conjonction #Mars-#M44 d'hier soir.

La #photo à été prise au Canon 700D avec un objectif catadioptrique de 500mm ouvert à f/6.3 (image recadré), accumulation de 119 poses de 0.8s, ISO 3200. Traitement #Siril et #Gimp.

L'aspect oblong de Mars est dû à son déplacement assez rapide sur son orbite. Mars c'est en effet décalée de 22,5" d'arc par rapport aux étoiles durant les 15 minutes qu'a duré l'observation.
