Nice capture, Martin! What a great target.
Sure looks like more than 5 hours, doesn't it?

Re: Sh2-308 Dolphin Nebula Processing
Ok , let me see if I’ve got your procedure correct , so select L + Synthetic L from RGB, R ( GB) ( GB) Bi Color Load Ha into R ( Sii ) slot , load Oiii into G (Ha )slot , load Oiii again into B ( Oiii ) slot but move this slider back to zero ! Question: For Ha R slot and Oiii G slot should I adjust...

Re: Sh2-308 Dolphin Nebula Processing
Hi Martin! Oh boy, when I first saw this post I assumed you were doing this at the rural site. I think it may be the wiser choice. I mean hopefully the hours stack up well and you get something strong enough, but... :confusion-shrug: Moving on...Mike advised what? Golly, that doesn't sound like me. ...

Re: Astro to Astro-art Continuum, 2024 Edition
BTW: When are we going to continue filling up our table? ;) I'm curious about the other modules, Super Structure, Denoise ... But of course, I'm not sure if this isn't going to be a 2025 edition ... :mrgreen: Ha. Well Dietmar, 2024 still has a lot of time left in it. :D After additional reading esp...

Re: LRGB or RGB?
just sharing to me on my monitor the LRGB stars are slightly stronger in colour seen most on amber stars where as the LGB are less colour intense, is that maybe why they appear slightly tighter Yes, no, maybe? :? For the star tightness, no it was actually spatial. I would have made a blinking GIF, ...

Re: LRGB or RGB?
...continuing my conversation with myself... :lol: I was able to experiment more last night. Again maybe something I was doing wrong, thought-wise, but never could get ST to accept a non-linear L to combine with linear RGB to apply as per the Color module. The plan had been to use another program to...

Re: M42, with issues...
Wondering if you came across this one? https://www.astrobin.com/forum/c/astrophotography/deep-sky/horrible-vignetting-with-asi6200-and-at130edt/ Now that's a full frame camera, but still kind of similar. And his circle artifact does "fit" a little better across his sensor. They float a few theories,...

Re: Astro to Astro-art Continuum, 2024 Edition
Hi Dietmar, thanks for adding your perspective. :thumbsup: I agree with a number of your takes. I would like to see just how they enhance the images, nuts-and-bolts description. And yeah, are they using the same FITS Liberator that I have? Mine is so limited it almost seems worthless, other than rea...

Re: LRGB or RGB?
First little experiment (partially) complete. :? I have yet to dive deeper into my archives, but the data in front of me right now followed my usual OCD pattern of acquisition -- mostly equal total exposure each for L, RGB, and Ha. Ditto on the second night. That makes it easy to run off some compar...
Re: M81/M82
Oh. Cough cough. I think you are right. :shock: Granted I am an aficionado of dark backgrounds, but even beyond that I think edit #1 is the clear winner, though yes H-IX pops more in edit #2. I guess more faint stars are showing too, and I like that, but ouch that bright purple sky. And the main tar...
