hi everyone

here is m51 stacked in APP and processed fully in ST. I simply loaded lrgb into lrgb module and did it this way. I did get white pixels after decon show up, I kept and moved on, not sure why though


enjoy!

Do you happen to recall how you blended the processed synthetic luminance with the chrominance in layer module? There are a million ways, just wondering how you managed it . I did my synthetic Lum and chrominance with red, green and blue (res being Ha and red layered with screen mode) and am now try...

I knew there was a pretty picture in there

You are the best! I will try to see if I can replicate it somehow.
So getting more red is a valid approach? I like the image! Good job and thank you Ivo, you are always super helpful

Oy Ivo! I will never go back to basics lol. I have gotten some pretty decent images, but I think I didn't go deep enough on Ha for some reason. ( 3 min subs at gain 200. I dither every 2 frames for a high dither. I just changed to very high dither spiral to see if it helps on my next 2 images. Thank...

Sure!
Ha 8820 seconds

Lum 8730
Red 6270
Green 8460
Blue 12105

Thanks Ivo

Hi! I recently did m51 HaLRGB and I thought I got great colors, but for some reason, having trouble with m101.Away, can I get some assistance? I tried synthetic lum and synthetic chrominance, (rgb only in chrominance) but galaxy is kind of one color... I will google drive the files, anu help is high...
