Re: Load and manipulate wide-field RGB in Compose

Thanks Ivo! I appreciate your orchestral illustration of what I'm trying to accomplish. I see it as akin to mixing, say, three different recordings of concerts by the Boston Pops performing "Rhapsody In Blue". Each performance may have attractive attributes that came out better than in the other rec...

Load and manipulate wide-field RGB in Compose

Greetings all! I've had some good results so far in loading narrowband frames into Compose and processing away. I was wondering now if there is a way to load, manipulate and process separate multiple RGB files that have already been aligned and combined elsewhere into Compose? For example, say I hav...

California Dreamin

Happy weekend to all! Posting a stack of the CA nebula processed in ST. I'm still amazed at what ST can do with images when compared with other processing programs. 90x60sec Ha, 40x60sec OIII. Atik Horizon mono mated to a Stellarvue SV70T on a iOptron CEM 40EC mount unguided with a bit of manual dit...

Re: Aligning Channels in Preparing for L,RGB

Thanks Ivo! Is your reply supporting the use of the reference frame method in DSS to align the channels there as I read from the older posts? For a little background, here's my basic workflow when processing narrowband subs: - All Ha subs are stacked in DSS and saved as FITS to a file. - All OIII su...

Aligning Channels in Preparing for L,RGB

Hello All! I'm rolling right along with getting some great results from ST already but I have question. I'm wondering what everyone is using to allign/register their L,RGB channels before loading in to ST? When I chose the recommended DSS settings, I find that I'm no longer able to use the 'Align' f...

M27 Reprocessed in StarTools

Just received my ST licence over the weekend and diving in head first! This HOO version was originally processed in Nebulosity earlier in the year and I think it came out much better in ST even with my limited experience with the program. Lots to learn but having fun so far! 60x30 sec Ha 80x30 sec O...
