I've been working a lot with the images that have quickly been piling up on my hard drive since I first bought my telescope. Astrophotography is a strange form of photography for me. I've always kind of hated Photoshop and software gimmicks because it feels like cheating to me. I've always tried to keep my editing changes to the whole image. Now with astrophotography I'm forced to combine tens or even hundreds of images down to a single picture and really stretch the color and exposure to bring out the detail. I think I might be alright with that. I really like the pictures that I'm getting and actually feel they are representative, but it still feels feels like cheating.
