Re: OSC data in Compose module

Welcome to the wonderful world of endless processing, re-doing, updating, tweaking the same dataset; you think you finally get the image you like, then find something else to adjust and off you go! :D The 75% default aggressiveness in Wipe works well in most cases, especially broadband data with the...

Re: Combining L-Extreme and L-Pro for RGB Star Color

@Carles Thanks, I will play around with Siril to see how it would be done. @Stefan Makes sense with DSLR to hold off; I started with my Canon T5i unmodded, switched to QHY168C cooled and never looked back; budget of course is always a factor. I find a noticeable difference going from L-Enhance (stil...

Re: OSC data in Compose module

Correct as Mike states. Note the color toggle option in Wipe is the only place you will actually get a hint of the color in your image until you get into the color module itself; I use this feature all the time to switch between luminance and color to see what Wipe is doing before moving on to the f...

Re: OSC data in Compose module

Using the L-Pro broadband filter (I use it as well) on galaxies and globs, you can go down two routes: Normal process for this OSC visual spectrum data is open ST, click load and choose the middle option, Linear from OSC/DSLR with Bayer matrix and not white balanced; you would not bother with Compos...

Re: OSC data in Compose module

Let's first narrow down what data you are looking to process; emission nebulae using narrowband Ha/Hb/OIII filters or broadband targets like galaxies, globs etc. Will have a big say in how to process.

Re: OSC data in Compose module

It's actually one or the other way to open an image, not both; If you do the "Open and load a OSC stacked data set with the Linear, Bayer matrix, not white balanced" option, you then process from there (no Compose). When you get to the Color module, the Matrix dropdown will show a bunch of DSLR came...

Re: Combining L-Extreme and L-Pro for RGB Star Color

Agree, 1-2hrs in RGB is sufficient; I used L-Pro but may start using UV/IR filter instead to get more accurate color. I was well aware of the halos with the L-Extreme before making the switch but with my quality optics on William Optics GT81 APO refractor with 0.8X flattener/reducer, pretty much the...

Re: Combining L-Extreme and L-Pro for RGB Star Color

Stefan, worked better than I expected! Did a quick default work flow on both stacks (same Bin/Crop) and got a Bi-Color HOO with really nice RGB stars! Completely changes the look of the narrow-band image (I traded in the L-Enhance for the L-Extreme filter a few months ago and love it). Now to really...

Re: Combining L-Extreme and L-Pro for RGB Star Color

Hi Stefan, Appreciate the quick response and you are indeed correct; I just tried the workflow I outlined and got a pretty "whacky" color scheme when jumping into the Color module; not at all what I intended. I will try your suggestion next, processing each stack with same bin/crop and then combinin...
