Ok.

Well thank you for that! Certainly different from what I would have known to do. But those are steps I should be able to follow, and I will definitely give that a try.
Appreciate the suggestions I will write down these steps!

I have never tried this so apologies for questions that obviously are off track. I have a duo ban L-Extreme. It makes very nice, red images. But (uh oh) I watched a you tube video that suggested that people use APP to "extract" Ha, OIII, and OIII mono. Then, and NOT specifically in ST, use "Ha" as R...

Thanks. I totally get what you're saying. I wonder if people can layer stars using a different filter on to a set of images that were taken with the nebulosity filter? It sounds like something people who know how to process in depth could do. Like everyone, I guess I would like to have my cake and e...

I think the L-eNhance does a nice job of bringing out nebulosity. But when I process with it, it causes my stars look too blue. I read a post here from about a year ago, which I have a difficult time following. This person had the same filter and similarly used an OSC camera. The suggestion for him ...

All of my sub headers for all LRGB say "1x1" so I am guessing thats the binning?

I'm clueless. I failed to come up with an image on my first try at LRGB, so I carefully prepared a 2nd set with a new target. In APP, I separately stacked subs from L, R, G, and B and got unstretched stacks for each. I went into the compose mode of ST and selected "L/RGB". It's the only choice that ...

I'm afraid that this first attempt for me in mono/LRGB is a bust as far as the color channels. I must have somehow scrambled the channel data in collection or stacking. The colors are all over the map and far from adjustable. I had been encouraged when I saw details in the L data that looked decent....

However, I may be on to something here with a new style of astro/modern art. I will soon be rich.

Well, that was a pretty spectacular failure. The image showed decent data in B&W. I don't know what happened with the RGB.
I don't know if this is an acquisition error or a processing error or both.

I suspect this is another dumb question. I have been using ST for OSC, and I have had decent results considering I don't yet know enough about post processing. I got a Mono camera and a set of LRGB filters. I collected the lights for all and stacked with APP. Bringing the stack to ST, I confess I di...
