P Holdsworth Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Hi all, I managed to get an additional two nights on the crescent nebula though with ducking and diving clouds it's still only 5.5 hours. There's definitely some more Oiii than my first post so overall quite pleased. Stacked in APP and processed entirely in pixinsight. I used the game script ( multi point mask) to draw a really accurate mask around the nebula then inverted for background and re inverted for the nebula which seems a really good tool and then did all the usual workflow. Anyway probably calling this one finished but keeping the subs to maybe add to it next year. Cheers Paul 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Holdsworth Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 Hi, had a spare afternoon so had another go at processing the crescent nebula I posted earlier this week. Still learning and practicing pixinsight so went for a more subtle approach and strangely it seems to have a bit more OIII in it this time. Last post on this I promise!

Bunglesastroimaging Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Both good but prefer the reprocess personally. Looks more like its there, the first one for me looks like it's been stuck there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkAR Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Second one looks a bit cleaner, you've subdued the background nebulosity a little which makes it look better too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraic M Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Yes, nice improvement in #2. Crescent really stands out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
