Dmack1 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 This is a combination of 6 Hrs Ha with an Astronomik 12nm clip in and 3 hours of RGB, all with my old 8" LX200 GPS and a EOS1100Da.Its a little bit Salmon Pink but I cant seem to sdjust that without making other things worse.Full res image here https://astrob.in/z82qkv/0/C & C welcome 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timastrovirus Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Already looking quite pleasing. The salmon pink mat be resolved by slowly adding the Ha and not using it as a luminance layer at full opacity. What I used to do was the following after processing the Ha and RGB data seperately. HaRGB combine in Photoshop CS3: -Align in PS CS3 -Extract R-channel from RGB image and paste on top of Ha image, normal blending, 30% opacity, HaR30 -Paste HaR back to R-channel in RGB image to form (HaR30)GB image -Color balance using Levels -Selective color, Reds (-100% Cyan), Yellow (-100% Cyan), Blue (+100% Cyan, -100% Yelllow) -Insert HaR in luminosity blend at 40% opacity -Selective color, Reds (-100% Cyan), Yellow (-100% Cyan), Blue (+100% Cyan, -100% Yelllow) -Abd then tweak to liking.

Thanks Tim - I'll give that a go. I've been learning Pixinsight and this was done in that - But I have done a similar process to what you suggest in PS previously and I think you are right - that should work better. I need to try to remember to use ALL the tools when they are appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmack1 Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 I've had another go at this following (mostly - the selective colour part was not working out for me) and ended up with below. More stars and overall better colour I think. Maybe backgound a bit too dark now? C&C welcome as always. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
