Hello, I am wondering how you guys manage to sharpen so well your photos? When I sharpen my photos, they come out very smudged (especially the registrations).

I use Sharpen Ai and Photo AI and shoot usually at ISO 400.

Any help will be appreciated!

Hi Avera,

Problem with your photos could be that you use very cheap barlow which quality is not good. At first, try to take some photos without it. Also please check your collimation. BTW your photos are not bad though, and don't be shy to upload them ;)

PS. I use an old version of NeatImage.

Everything is collimated, and I use a good eyepiece. I've managed to mark where the "perfect focus" is on the dobby, and the photos are in "perfect focus", but when It comes to sharpening, the detail, which are focused come out as very smudgy after sharpening. They look like wet paint after the process and I want to fix that issue. Here is an example photo of the issue:
