I tuned the filters visually, rather than trying to adjust them via the imager. Here are two more images to compare after that process:
PST-DS:
PST-SS:
The edge detail looks better in the SS, but much more detail is visible in the DS image.
The difference between SS and DS when using the scope visually is very apparent. Operating in DS mode, visual images have much more detail and contrast. The images don't capture this difference quite as well. However, for speed of comparison, the above images were smaller stacks (500 as opposed to 1000) and captured at 640 x 480 as opposed to 1280 x 720.
The trials, tribulations and small triumphs of a Charlotte, NC astronomer imaging under Bortle 8/9 skies.
