mightymonoped Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Managed to grab more data last night to try to bring out the colour.

Marmot Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Another mighty fine image. I like it when the images are of something with a name (elephants trunk) that I assume they resemble as it’s a bit of a game trying to see the likeness. However, I am struggling to see the elephants trunk! I will have another look after a glass of wine and see if I can see it😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmot Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Got it now, thank you. (Although strangely enough, I am just having a glass of wine......I knew it would help🙂) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightymonoped Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 I thought this might be worth trying instead of creating a luminance layer from the red channel, I registered the first nights image against this one and merged it at about 40% opacity to bring out some of the highlights, sort of like luminance. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
