You don't need the perfect histogram for amazing astrophotography results!
Do you find yourself worrying about what the histogram should look like in your astrophotography images? Well, don't.
In this video, I give you a good example of how I turned an overexposed stack of exposures and turned it into a stunning image of the Crescent nebula, NGC 6888.

That's Photoshop?

Yep! Photoshop 2023.
why photoshop? I don't really get this video and what you are trying to achieve? It's overcomplicates what you are trying to say.

Photoshop is the best tool I can think of for histogram manipulation. This isn't meant to be a full processing video, just that you can take data from under/over exposed images and still make it look good. You can also use Gimp instead of photoshop to achieve similar results. I have other videos on processing if you're looking for that. If you have specific questions, I'm happy to answer.

@@Naztronomy What's the point of making a flat look good though? It doesn't work that way when stacking, a flat needs to be exposed properly when acquired for it to work when stacking/calibrating

@@nikaxstrophotography I think I can see where the confusion is. The video is just to cover how the histogram works and how you can read it and not worry about over/under exposing either your individual flats or lights, as long as you're not clipping your data. I'm not asking anyone to manipulate any of the frames individually before stacking. That would make stacking more difficult.
