Hello,
I use Optolong L Extreme dual band filter which works great for the nebulas, but would like to start collecting full color stars using my lum filter for my image. I then plan to add the full color stars into my images.
I often use the exposure calculator when planning a session for a nebula which works great. Is there a way to have the calculator while pointing at the same object calculate just on the stars? I see I can change expose for target object to stars but I am not sure if that takes into account the brighter starts in the FOV as I do not want to saturate them.
Or am I going about this all wrong?
Thank you for any advice
Shawn
