Post Processing Meade
DSI Pro II & III Images
Start To Finish
Learn how I calibrate and post process my images from start to finish.
Unlike most other post processing tutorials that are available on the market, this one does not show you how to do specific things and then leaves it up to you to put those things into some sort of procedure to arrive at a final photo. This tutorial shows you the tools that I use and the steps that I take to calibrate and post process my images. You'll see every click that I make while I explain what I'm doing and why I'm doing it, while I calibrate, stack, and post process my images from start to finish.

Software that is used in these videos includes AIP4WIN, Photoshop CS, FITS Liberator, Noel Carboni's Actions For Photoshop, NeatImage Pro, and Maxim/DL(RGB Combine Only). To get the most out of these tutorials you should have Photoshop, the FITS Liberator, and the Carboni Actions at a minimum.

You'll also see how I drift align my mount, how to make a great focusing mask, and you'll learn more about the Deep Space Cooler for the DSI cameras. To see the photos that are post processed from start to finish right before your eyes on this DVD please visit this gallery: http://www.pbase.com/mataylor/dvd3images

All of the calibrated and stacked data files are included on the DVD so that you can play along and give the data a try for yourself!
