Kbramley Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 First go at doing a glob in LRGB, lum data from end of April and RGB from last night (nearly full moon was a pain though)Lum 20x300s 1x1RGB all 8x300s 1x1Flats and darks and bias applied383L+ Mono @ -20deg, OAG and MN190Full size here (although I'm thinking its over saturated now )and slightly lower saturation hereThanks for lookingKeith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Very nice. Prefer the one with lower saturation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbramley Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 I have dropped the saturation a bit on the Full Res version now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 really nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollypenrice Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 That is terrific. These are not easy targets by any means if you want them to sparkle like the visual view. I love your clear distinction in star colour within the globular, too.I never know what to think about luminance on globulars. What is it going to do? I tend to go for plain RGB since I'm not after anything faint. However, this is a cracker.Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbramley Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks for the comments gents,.thats a good point about the luminance. My lum channel certainlyhelped bring the background noise down due to the greater number of subs , but washed out the star colours in the Glob, think I settled for a 40% blend with the RGB layer.I did most of the processing on the lum channel, eg Sharpening, levels, curves and noise reduction. The RGB channels I only did saturation and some levels. I might give give it another pass and just go with the RGB and see how it comes out, may need to add more subs though to get the noise down?cheersKeith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry-Wilson Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Very good image Keith. I was out last night too and can imagine the trouble you had with the moonlight.Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergeek Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Yep, a fine image to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbramley Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Yeah the moon was up and bright, but being the first and only clear night in two weeks (as it always is with bright moons? ) I decided to give it a go all the same. Fortunately there wasn't too much of that fine misty stuff around so the scatter from the moon was reasonably low. Plus M13 is nice and bright so seems to punch through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
