This is a video tutorial I put together on processing monochrome CCD images in Deep Sky Stacker and Photoshop. Enjoy!

This video tutorial is meant to introduce the viewer to basic techniques for processing planetary images. Images are usually obtained as a video to compensate for atmospheric turbulence and then processed into a still image by taking the best frames from the video.

Gary Honis is the man when it comes to astrophotography modifications. I have used his guides to modify my Canon Rebel XSi, Quickcam Pro 9000, and to build a Peltier Cooler Box for my DSLR.
