You got some lovely detail in there Gordon! The resolution might possbily be a bit too high for the real 1:1 data content. Binning could potentially let you push decon a bit further, bringing out the central star (the 'giant' white dwarf). I personally love seeing it in this object as it puts what ...
http://i.imgur.com/GcOSCxv.jpg Drug out my C6 for the first time in forever. Thought it was the right choice for a small-ish target, instead of the ED80T Took 51 frames @ 300", tossed 14 for tracking errors. The little CG5 is huffin' and puffin' trying to lug that much weight around for 5 minute ex...

Now I can't get a good image out of DSS to save my life and I just don't have the time or patience to figure out which DSS setting(s) to tweak. Wanted to pick this statement out and "second" it ...
PixInsight's stacking and integration modules yield the absolute best (consistent) quality currently on the market. It's worth the license fee for that alone (and even then it is very reasonably priced for all the other tools you get). Well said, sir. I think there's definitely room for both it and...
May I ask what version of DSS you use? 3.3.3 beta 47 using 3.3.2 gave me and several others some very odd results...including result files that were nothing but a long vertical bar of noise, and so on. At that time, someone (I can't for the life of me remember who or where) suggested the latest bet...
Ok... any sort of calibration in DSS will also significantly affect how much detail can be extracted, how well noise levels can be determined and typically causes clipping and bloating of stars (as is quite apparent here). I don't really understand this statement...since this has never been an issu...
