The skies finally cleared so I managed to try out my new #Dwarf3 #smartscope. Very impressed!
#M45 #Pleiades 15x60s, gain 60
and #M31 #Andromeda Galaxy 192x15s, gain 60
@bastien I do all my imaging on Linux and would recommend the following free software:
Planetary:
AstroDMx - for image capturing
AstroSurface - (running under Wine) for image processing
DSO:
Siril - for stacking and image processing (pretty much a one stop shop for everything!). Look at "Deep Space Astro" on YouTube for intro videos
GraXpert - for background removal and noise reduction
Seti Astro Suite - for image stretching, curve manipulation, sharpening and noise reduction
Hope that helps.
