Greg Yancey Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) So this is my first time working in Narrowband, and going after my favorite target...M42. I am having alot of fun doing this project! using my C11 with C11v4 Hyperstar and ASi1600MM Pro with Baader Filters. I am currently waiting on clear skies again so that I can get the Oiii data. Ha - 152x60sec shots using the Baader Ha 3.5nm f/2 UHS filter Sii - 120x60 Sec shots using the Baader Sii 4nm f/2 UHS filter total integration time so far is 4 hrs and 32 minutes. Currently I am playing around with Pixinsight doing different color combinations to see how M42 comes out Clear Skies!

One thing you could try, is apply a dose of HDRMultiscaleTransform to the blown out core, it should be able to reduce it noticeably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A setting of 6 or 7 layers usually works best. Check the to lightness and light mask boxes. They give me the best results. Just test on a preview window until you are happy with the result. Using a Lum mask with keep the process to the areas that need it. Edited December 16, 2022 by AstronomyUkraine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
