AstronomyUkraine Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 This is an updated version of the Pacman nebula taken last year. The new version has the addition of RGB stars, and a different SHO blend. I also applied EZ Star reduction on the new version.

P Holdsworth Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hi Brian , I much prefer the new version I think mainly because of the star reduction. Do you find the ez star reduction better than the morphological transformation tool ? Lovely image 👍 Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the EZ Star reduction a lot simpler to use than the Morphological Transformation tool. Basically you only have two settings in the EZ star reduction script, the mode and the iterations.

Jkulin Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hi Brian, I have to admit I prefer the original colour as its not oversaturated and there's too much green, JMHO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always sceptical about leaving green in an image. I like the colour in the original, but with the RGB stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAR Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 The variation in colour of the new version really makes it pop and seems to give it more definition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
