IC1396 revisited.

[ollypenrice]

An older image from the Tak FSQ85ED at 328mm but with a lttle extra RGB added for noise reduction and, more significantly, my recent higher res data for the Elephant Trunk part blended in. (Altair115 and TEC140) It doesn't add much at this scale but seen fullsize it's worth having. This is HaLRGB.

Image resizing and aligning in the mighty Registar.

You can't resist showing us your trunk, can you?

Looks fantastic at full size!

[ollypenrice]

I take it your two sentences above are in no way connected???

[Shibby]

lol, I hadn't even noticed that one...!

[the 5th race]

very good

Looks really good at full scale Olly.

Fine picture Olly- always amazes me what can be done revisting old data and adding new information taken with different equipment.

[ollypenrice]

Agreed. Registar is the tool of choice for combining focal lengths, field curvatures and pixel sizes. It laughs at all these problems and knocks out a result in about five seconds. If you are only wanting to get long FL data to boost a widefield image you really need only obtain very mediochre data to make a big improvement, too.

In this pic the original trunk looked a little elusive and as it's a feature which draws the eye I was glad to tighten it up. (You'll notice that I'm on best behaviour when it comes to not developing the earlier line of innuendo!)

[SlipperySquid]

Well I'll take over the innuendo's

Looks really good Olly, I like how the trunk pops out of the image!Very impressive! Nothing worse then your trunk flapping about with no real control over it.

Groan.....I'll get me coat.

Matt..

[peter shah]

i wouldnt expect any lesser comment from you Matt sounds like you know from experience, so when did you lose control and it flapped about?

another cracker Olly

LOL @ this thread

Nice work Olly, beautifully done and might have a look at registar my self one day.

Can PI do this type of combination ?

[ollypenrice]

Thanks Cat. I don't know. It can, of course, do the registering of images from the same camera but can do the other Registar stuff? Asking Harry is the best way!
