M33 First LRGB after upgrade

[cresskh]

The curse is real.

I upgraded my equipment from achromat + beginner DSLR to RC scope + cooled mono cam for LRGB imaging and clouds followed me across 3 continents for more than 6 months.

Had only a few hours of clear skies in Nov and Dec last year to collect some data for my first LRGB image, and here it is.
Still new to LRGB processing so comments are very much welcomed.

 

Technicals:
L: 30x3m R: 26x3m G: 18x3m B: 10x3m (unbinned)

A very fine first image with that setup.

What software do you use for processing? In PixInsight I would use scnr, and in PS hlvg, to subdue the green a bit. This will also "warm up" the core of M33.

Another tip is to try noise reduction on chrominance only. This will lower the colour noise in the background. My weapon of choice for this in PixInsight is mmt, with a fairly strong mask to protect bright areas.

I use PS. Mind telling me what is hlvg?

I use noise reduction on the LRGB... yeah, sounds like a good idea to do it on the RGB only thanks.

HLVG = Hasta La Vista Green, a PS plugin.
