ABSTRACT
Following the technical chapters, this section concentrates on some practical examples that illustrate alternative techniques. These are deliberately chosen to use a selection of different capture and processing programs and to cover a range of imaging problems and solutions. In each case the unique or significant aspects are highlighted rather than a full blow-by-blow account. In particular these examples consider techniques to capture and process objects with a high dynamic range, nebulosity, star fields and in narrowband wavelengths. These images were taken with a variety of cameras and telescopes, all on equatorial mounts. These are presented in chronological order and show a deliberate evolution in technique that will resonate with newcomers to the hobby and more experienced practitioners alike.
