Re: Thoughts on using Graxpert

Hi
As a last resort. On the rare occasions where Wipe really doesn't work [1]. Then and only then.
The problem afterwards is that the Color module becomes a nightmare.
Cheers,
Steve

[1] In my case wipe doesn't work due to my lack of patience, NOT due to Ivo's coding!

Re: West Veil duoband+OSC stars

Hi
Nice to this area of the sky without the current stars-processed-to-death-or-removed trend prevalent elsewhere;)
Excellent shot. Love it.

Re: askar c1 and c2 filters

I assume You used a color cam and split the channels. From one stack You'll get: R= Ha and G/B = O3. From second stack You'll get: R= S2 and G/B = O3 A better way might be to do a third stack with images from both filters to increase integration time for O3= G &B channels to reduce noise Then load ...

Re: askar c1 and c2 filters

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the time taken for your replies. You've confirmed my suspicion that leaving B out of the stack may produce a cleaner result. It gives me new hope that there is no correct or agreed way to do this stuff and that experimentation is what it's all about. Perfect. Che...

askar c1 and c2 filters

Hi everyone OSC with filters c1: Ha OIII c2: SII OIII I made two stacks and extracted the Ha and SII respectively from each using Siril. The OIII I made by combining the B and G channels from both stacks. The registered and aligned files are here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16Ga9SXegstTa...

Re: NGC 3718

but here's my take at NGC 3718 in Ursa major:
Excellent. Our posts crossed. Same target. Great minds!

You managed far better colour than I. Well done.

Re: m65

Hi everyone and thanks so much for the replies.

It's a cheepo gso203 with a veTEC camera ~7h @ hcg100: Siril 1.3a. Colour is artistic with reduced saturation. HTH

Have to say that Ivo's svdecon leaves the ai rubbish with a lot of catching up to do:)

Cheers and clear skies,
Steve
