mightymonoped Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 This is a reprocess of two separate captures with the Redcat 51. Couldn't quite reconcile the registered images as the difference in orientation left the bottom right in a complete mess, but I've tried my best to salvage it for now. Tried a bit of a mix and match on the integration. The 120s (first) capture was integrated as Ha-OIII Colour in Astro Pixel Processor, the 180s (second) capture was processed individually as Ha and OIII extracts and recombined. Both images were sorted for light pollution and star colour calibration before registering against each other. Combined the images in Photoshop, then sorted star layer and starless version before processing. Hoping to add data to this with the 80ED over the next couple of months. (and sort out the corner 🙂 ) Tony 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmack1 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Thats a nice result. I find that combining mosaic panels in APP is really effective. there are various methods and settings which can help to ensure minimal edge artifacts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightymonoped Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Right, Decided to try and do it properly from scratch so I re-integrated in APP using LNC and MBB to handle the mosaic edges and contrast this time. Left the stars a little less reduced and tried to keep a bit more details and wispiness to the nebulosity. Hopefully this is a bit of an improvement?
