Data is collected in my backyard over the course of the winter, as I added more and more data, I have tested many different methods for processing, and this image is the "current" result, which I believe to be my best of my many attempts. https://www.astrobin.com/z6t0k6/K/ The image is an SHO image with RGB stars. The following process is used for all NB channels to prep each channel (SHO).
Sii stretched - https://www.astrobin.com/z6t0k6/L/ Ha stretched - https://www.astrobin.com/z6t0k6/M/ Oiii stretched - https://www.astrobin.com/z6t0k6/N/ I combined my NB channels with ChannelCombination and extracted the CIE L component. The L has been only slightly modified:
L Component - https://www.astrobin.com/z6t0k6/O/ I created an ACDNR mask of the light image to target all the background I would later need to control. I discarded the RGB image again. I then recombined my NB channels with ChannelCombination into a new RGB image. The RGB image has been processed in the following way:
By using color masks I find that I have more control over how the colors are controlled in the image. I have tried Bill Blanshans scripts, NBColorMapper and others. Above is heavily inspired by these 2 Youtube videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn7UGWlPxfI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo6E0pBvdLQ The RGB Image was now loaded into ImageBlend:
Apply RGB stars to final blended image using ScreenStars Script. Reduced stars with Star Reduction script. That's the used workflow. Input etc. are more than welcome. |
