jnc71106 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Got bored last night as the better half was watching The White Queen so went back to my M81 data. I never posted the original as I never really liked it, I prefer the new one but I'm limited as it's only about 1 hr in total LRGBCalibrated, Stacked and Processed in Pixinsight really starting to enjoy using this software although it could do with more in ţhe way of tutorials Harry's videos and some of the official ones have been a blessingThe original image is from when I really had no clue about the software and the new image is the result of watching videos, still not got much of a clue though Not posting this as a world beater image more hoping to encourage anyone that might have just taken the Pixinsight leapOldM81 + M82 by Tokoloshe81, on FlickrNewM81 RGB V2 by Tokoloshe81, on Flickr Edited July 15, 2013 by jnc71106 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I think you have over done the background on the new, bring it back down to be like the other, irrc there is a massive amount of flux in this area dont mistake it for noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I agree the background is a bit too dark in the new version. The faint satellite of M81 seems to have shrunk. I do prefer the colours in the second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I have three screens here and one is calibrated, (all three show it different) you can see the flux coming out now, it is a touch pixalated so it might be worth a gentle noise reduction but mask the stars and galaxy.

andyo Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Nice job you have really got the core showing in m82 as well as more detail in the outer dust lanes of m81 with the pixinsight one.Regarding the colour balance M81 maybe a touch on the blue side for me.I took a trial of pixinsight and was impressed enough to buy it totally agree about the video tutorialsespecially Harry Pages what a great help.

kirkster501 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 All look excellent. Very good. I really like the red you've got in M82 there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
