IKO - DWB 111 Propellor Nebula - Processing Competition
JCJC replied to Grant's topic in IKI Observatory
Hi all, This is such a good idea, really nice to compare processing of the same data and see different styles! Picking up lots of tips and tricks. I haven't had the chance to process narrowband colour much previously so was playing around and found a nice 'false colour' technique for narrowband data online using R: 0.75xSII+0.25xHa, G: OIII, B: 0.1xHa+0.9xOIII. -Processed RAW files independently in PS with levels and curves initially. (You realise how good the data is when the initial curves is so easy!) -Combined the processed files in the ratios as above and RGB. -More curves to keep brighter stars controlled -Light use of noise reduction/sharpening -Astro tools and Steve's actions for star reduction and colour enhancement. -I just liked the orientation this way and have been looking at it like this for a while so any other way looks off Thanks again SGL team, good fun and good results above! Stay well all! Jordan -
Orion's Belt and Comet Atlas (C/2020 M3)

Hi Olly! I hope you are both keeping well in France. Yes it is amazing and like I said, I feel the general standard is so high these days! All the best, J -
Orion's Belt and Comet Atlas (C/2020 M3)

Thank you both! It was a nice surprise to catch the comet in the frame. Comet is the green slight elongated object top of frame adjacent to star! Quite outshone by APOD Nov 12th! https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap201112.html J -
Hi all! I've been out of the game for some time now but nice to see familiar faces on SGL! I hope everyone is well and keeping sane and safe! Lots seems to have changed! New cameras, new software, new lots of things! It's hard to get back up to speed after a few years. My Dad (Mick J) keeps me updated. The general image standard is now so high it seems! I have a bit of a natural break in work and life things so enjoying some time in Crete with other half's family currently. First time using portable set-up for me and to be honest a lucky capture with the comet in the frame mostly by accident! Approx 55 minutes total of 30s frames and some 10s frames for M42 core, ISO 400. Modded Canon 450D, Samyang 135mm F2. Skywatcher StarAdventurer. Similar version of lockdown here so taken from city location and passing cloud but happy to just have some time to enjoy a bit of hobby time! Processing gradients wise was tricky!
