AstronomyUkraine Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 The Crescent Nebula in SHO. It was harder than I was expecting, to bring out the detail in the blue, and the stars are looking funky too. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted the contrast between the nebula and the background. Mainly I wanted the blue wispy details on the edge of the Crescent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what's happening, but when I reintegrate stars after using Starnet, they are blown to hell. I tried reducing the brightness of the stars in the star mask, but they are stll being blown out. The large star, top middle of the nebula, is actually two stars just blown into one. I use Pixelmath to combine the SHO with the starmask, never had this problem before.

MarkAR Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 There's so much signal around there it's a mare to process, looks like you've done it really well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a combination of two different SHO combinations. The blue was very faint in a straight up SHO, so I fiddled about in Pixinsight and managed to bring out more blue signal in another combination, then combined both 50/50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmot Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Superb colours and not just in the central area but also more subtle throughout the background as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really pleased to have captured the OIII shell. I have seen so many images without it, I thought it must be really difficult to capture it. The advantage of taking 10 hours of OIII data I reckon.
