M8and M20 and yes Nb accent module ...

Post by fmeireso »

This is my first processing using the NB accent module...

Trying to follow the guidelines from Stefan B and a bit Startools this came out...
Totally different then my previous processing that can be found on Astrobin and CN
https://www.astrobin.com/yq3y4b/

To me the nebulae seems to stand out a bit better, more smoother. I reduced the stars and cutted back the orange hue of the starclouds but not that mucht that it cannot be seen, as this seems the natural look..

Dunno, i kinda like it

Only don't know if i did it all right in the NB accent module...
In the compose module i left the Luminance out, but putted the ha data in the NB accent 'channel'...

Still tweaked the colors a bit in GIMP but far less then i use to ...
I also found that the nebulae comes out a bit more red, or let us say it is more easy to get it a bit more red. I don't particular like magenta...

Hi Freddy,

I think it's well done. You did a good job on pushing back the star field without making it disappear. And the colors look good to me. In my eyes an improvement compared to your LRGB approach with the Ha for luminance.

Regards
Stefan
