Bunglesastroimaging Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 So I'll bore you all again with round 2 of my Heart Nebula. Played with my processing techniques and churned this out. Have to say I much prefer this version myself. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcK Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I like it. You have some dusty stuff coming through. The fish head does look slightly bright though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunglesastroimaging Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 About 5hrs of 4 min subs using Lextreme and my Altair 269c OSC Split the Ha and O3 in APP and created a mono image that I used as a false S2 ( attempt ) Converted all to greyscale images in PS and ran all 3 through starnett++ Ran all 3 starless images through topaz denoise Colourised each image Ha to red O3 a blue Shade the S2 a green shade. I then masked in the O3 to the Ha created new later with that combo Masked in the S2 and created new image with the 3 combined. Used the Ha layer and applied that as a luminence layer. Then just tweaked levels of the RGB until got to desired colour or colour that looked good. Camera raw filter to tweak colours and details in Photoshop. Ran through topaz denoise again. Reduced stars then added back to image. Have a look on YouTube at Astro_ed channel ( really informative ) it's following a few of his tutorials which I've done in the past but just then put my own spin on my data.
