No worries - here to help. I just found this great link with best ISOs to use for various models, include the 60D and 6D; http://dslr-astrophotography.com/iso-values-canon-cameras/ Okay, one more question on this... so it seems logical to me that, given what these guys are saying about ISO and dyna...

One more thing, I've noticed misalignment in that exact are of my images before, stacked with other programs. Any ideas on what part of my kit would be causing this? I'm assuming it's a function of something weird about the lens (Rokinon 14mm, f2.8), and if so, what can be done?

WOAH! :thumbsup: Yeah, that's pretty awesome! Okay, so you mentioned getting many many more exposures, how many would you aim for in a situation like this? I don't have a tracker, so keep that in mind. Also, is the noise a function of not having enough exposures, or my camera... or all of the above?...

Okay, I've messed with it some more and got DSS to do its thing correctly, as I eluded to previously. However, when I follow the guy's instructions that you posted previously, it seems to all go sideways in the wipe section. The image is taken of the Milky Way this time of year, which obviously mean...

Never mind! I should have Googled before asking. Turned out the stable versions of DSS don't like some Canon RAW files, so you have to use the beta. Moving on now, I'm sure I'll have more questions in a bit.

Okay wow, this has taken a while to process. I'm not sure I still get it, but, I'll come back to that later. LOL For dummies though, how do I find this native ISO? I've rented the Canon 6D Mark II to take to Japan next week, and I'd love to get all this right if possible. I don't know of any camera ...

Interesting. I've been trying to make heads or tails of the whole ISO thing. Some of what I've read lines up with what I've seen personally in messing with images, and some of it seems to not. How do you find the native ISO? At 640 ISO, I wouldn't see any stars at all hardly, and definitely not the ...

Ah nice, thanks for offering to help. Here's a couple of examples of files I've messed with, and the end result I've gotten, but feel there is more there.

Thanks for the reply! To be honest, I've seen a LOT of people that seem to get way more color out of their Milky Way shots then I seem to be able to, so I've sort of been on a mission to figure that out. I stumbled on *he who shall remain nameless* blog, and while he gets spectacular results, I find...

Hi, new user here. I had a quick question before I started messing with a demo and all that. Can StarTools be used to process Milky Way images, where there are foreground elements present? It seems like all the examples I was seeing were of deep space type images.

Thank you!
