kicking myself now. getting old, couple of months not processing and forgot to unlink it. It's these new fangled AI tools upsetting my well established workflow.

I've only just this past week installed graxpert to try.

With the green cast on a OSC image, how do you see the gradient properly without some colour correction first? Just a touch of sncr? Been avoiding that since SPCC got so good at correction.

Ok, due to clouds I've not imaged for a few months and wondering if I've forgotten a crucial stage in PI processing. Also just installed the graxpert script. Anyway, got 8 houts on the Cali Nebula the other night and after let WBPP do an autocrop. SPCC seemed to give an awful green background which I don't remember ver seeing before but if I run graxpert after it goes away. Should I be running GX before SPCC? using a OSC and the cheaper ASKAR duo filter. SPCC usually clears up any green cast, at least I'm sure it did.

I'm not new, just been dragging my heels to go mono for over a decade. Have had a permanent setup for 5ish years now and happy with all the automation that's now been working well for a few years, al the bugs ironed out, so time to add in some more complexity to keep it interesting.

Considering going into mono next year. I'm in a Bortle 3/4 area. Are the really tight NB filters worthwhile in every situation, will I see a benefit over cheaper ones in my area?

Been putting it off for years now. But now my permanent setup has been working well for a few years in happier moving over to mini

It's all automated at the moment, permanent setup. Was thinking of using the mono during the full moon and the OSC for other times until I decide if I want to go full mono.

I use PI

Ok, considering dipping my toe into mono. If I was to buy a 533 mono with maybe an Ha filter to start, could I easily integrate that into some colour data from my 294 or is there a better option. Really not keen on jumping full in with a set of filters and a filter wheel just yet or maybe could stretch to a filter wheel, not sure.

Are you sure the 2" argument isn't for the OSC version as the OSC filters tend to be 1.25" and 2" and nothing in between so would make sense

Had a play with PaulyAstros tutorials and came up with this. But definitely going to take some re-learning.

Can barely see the Bubble in my effort a few posts up. I do like the data I'm getting with the dualband filter but my ability to process it is really letting it down.

Yeah, I tig weld at home so always got argon on hand. I made a little enclosure, filled with argon and reassembled the camera in the argon environment.

Yeah, definitely frost. I cured mine, after much hair pulling, by doing an argon purge on the chamber. That was last summer and been fine since. I was getting the issue even when I slow cooled.
