Here are some of the actions in action (no pun intended). I will soon have Before and Afters for all of the ones I am putting on the set:
- Beta Actions Available For Testing
I have a few actions up for beta testing. I will do this occasionally as I am developing some for Annie's Astro Actions or just for my own personal use in processing (which is how these came about). I am considering adding them to the action set,...
- Orion Nebula Mosaic Completion
This was a month's worth of work thanks to clouds. Ended up being a 5 panel mosaic of M42 and my final image with my Meade DSI II Pro (it is getting traded in for a better CCD) Each panel is roughly 340 x 30sec images (80xL, 60xR,G,B) for a collective...
- Annie's Astro Actions - Almost Ready For Release!
I am still developing more actions, but my Astroimaging Actions are almost ready for release!!! The first 25 people who pre-order will get the entire action set for FREE!!! After that, any preorders will only be $8 (this is reduced from previously...
- Making A Mosaic
If you want to image a larger object with a small chip CCD it inevitably leaves to one thing: Mosaics. My first attempt turned out fairly well (I made a 6 panel mosaic of the Rosette Nebula), but did take a good bit of figuring out, aligning, and minute...
- New Astronomy Processing Tools For Photoshop Cs2
I am in the process of creating some astronomy tools for Photoshop CS2. If you are interested in testing them with me, please let me know ... I only have CS2 on my computers but believe they are compatible with a few other versions of Photoshop as well,...

Before and After of Annie's Astro Actions
Here are some of the actions in action (no pun intended). I will soon have Before and Afters for all of the ones I am putting on the set:
Channel Processing:
Star Layer Separate:
Remove Stars:
(Note: Large stars might leave behind faint remnants, they are easily removed after the action with the "healing tool" in the tool panel
Increase Color/Saturation:
(Note: the effect of this action is subtle so as to not overdo it in a single action, feel free to run this action multiple times to get the effect you desire)
Create a Mosaic (6 panel):
The final result of the mosaic is in a thread below after some fine alignment of the panels (since I shot in alt-az and therefore had rotation throughout the night) and final levels adjustment then changing the opacity of the panels back to 100%.
More to come!!!
